Stock photo and blog post by John HoffJust minutes after throwing the question out to the universe, the criminal history of Maurice Meeks made its way to me. Meeks was killed in a bizarre car-versus-porch incident, click here for more info.
Hawthorne Hawkman blogged about the criminal history of the alleged killer, but my question in a previous blog post was "what about the criminal history (if any) of the victim?"
Often, (but certainly not always) when murders take place in North Minneapolis, both the victims and the killers have rough records and long histories of mutual association. Maurice Meeks was no exception to this common pattern...
Without further ado, here is the history of no-account Maurice "Mo" Meeks, dead in an incident which was bizarre but, in its own way, hardly surprising:

What more can be said? Another textbook example of "He who lives by the sword, by that same sword he shall surely die."
It is a true loss to our community to lose a young man who had so much potential that was snuffed out so unfairly and cruelly.I say we outlaw cars but cars don't kill...people do.I say we out law people then but people don"t kill,cars and guns do.I am a jerk and actually hope that all folks who live like that also die like that....sweet justice punkmotherfuckers.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he was a "good kid," and "trying to put his life together." *cough*
ReplyDeleteSo, we got a 2 for 1 getting petty thugs off the street.
And for those asking for sympathy, it's been pushed to the limit. Ain't got any more for ya.
give all these thugs guns, send them to a field, and whoever's the last one standing wins the prize of being shot into a cannon sent straight for brooklyn center. good riddance.
ReplyDeletedo you have any info on mo meeks murder conviction? he was convicted and sentenced to 150 months, so apparently he had some "issues". the prison time did not seem to end his "involvement" with the law. who did he murder and why?
ReplyDelete@Baby, No additional info being held back here.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else have additional background info?
