"Who did the murder victim murder?"
That's the question I asked about Chukwumah Okolie, who was recently murdered on the Northside.
A little digging turned up the fact Okolie was convicted of murder in 1999. In fact, Okolie was on supervised release at the time he was found dead of multiple gunshots in a vehicle at 42nd and Fremont. The murder happened during an armed robbery.
Chukwumah "Terry" Okolie's literal "partner in crime" was the guy pictured above...
...who is Nathan A. Vollmer.
Vollmer was also convicted in 1999, but he didn't get a light 200 month sentence (credit for 285 days served) like his running buddy Chuk. Instead, Nathan Vollmer was sentenced to a much longer stretch and won't be out of prison until 2024. He'll be on supervised release until 2036, so it's possible (even likely) the probation officer he'll have to report to will be a robot.
The year before the murder, Vollmer was convicted of possessing a small amount of marijuana and paid a $50 fine, suspended in lieu of one day of jail time. His birthday is 3/6/1979.

ReplyDeleteJohnny N how many murders have we had in MPLS this year? It seems like every 5 days there is a murder in either MPLS or ST.P
ReplyDeleteJohnny N, how many stitches are in a major league baseball?
ReplyDeleteMurders: I haven't been counting.
ReplyDeleteStitches in a major league baseball: Don't know, don't see the relevance of the question. Please explain.
How deep does a rabbit hole go?
ReplyDeleteI know. I'll bet you've never thought about it, but when you turn on the sound system in your 15 year old luxury car, does it return the favor?
I wonder what it would be like to be a slice of cheese. John, how many cows does it take to make a slice? Do we have to always murder cows to have cheese?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the white boy I fucked at St. Cloud. Pretty lips that white boy had!
ReplyDeletePretty black lips that nigger had
ReplyDeleteInteresting. A comment was submitted saying "pretty white lips that (racial expletive) had. I am rejecting the comment, but only on the basis of the racial expletive. The comment was submitted as though it was equivalent to the comment above, apparently as part of some commentary on race in society.
ReplyDeleteHowever, (racial expletive) is not a term equivalent to "white boy."
I have decided to go ahead and publish the abusive and racist comment in question with the following caveat:
ReplyDeleteThe anonymous comment above is, more than likely, just a "trying to stir up deadly s***" comment submitted by a guy named Jim Watkins who lives in Texas and stalks this blogger. Watkins is mad because his friend, Thomas Balko, went to prison for victimizing North Minneapolis in an investor fraud.
For more information, everything EXCEPT his grandmother's home address and the place where he is working selling secondhand goods, check out this like right here.

Abusive and racist comments that come to this blog and are believed to be the work of Watkins will no longer be ignored, but will be published with a "call out" about Watkins.
There are dozens of comments like this going back months. Just going back and publishing them and publishing this caveat each time will take a while. For now, I leave it at a couple comments. Hopefully this will have the intended impact.
