More Names And Present Day Connections (Or Coincidences?) To 1984 Champion Family Shoplifting Ring Story...Scrutinizing The Name "Nona Champion," Godmother To Slain Teen Nehemiah Steverson

post by John Hoff

State v. Champion, a Minnesota Court of Appeals Case from the 1980s, has proven to be a fascinating "Rosetta Stone"filled with ancient writings about what some prominent local personalities were doing "back in the day." 

Or not. Maybe the names are all an eerie coincidence. 

JNS blog continues to assert, for the sake of my own high blog standards, that I don't have "on the record," diamond-hard smoking gun proof that "Bobby Joe Champion" from the 1987 court case about a Champion Family shoplifting ring is one and the same with the current state legislator of the same name, or that...

..."Willie Wesley" in the story is the same guy who later became a mayoral aide to Sharon Sayles-Belton, or...

Or that "Nona Champion" who was at the center of the Champion Family shoplifting ring in the 1980s is the same woman who was  "godmother" to North Minneapolis teen Nehemiah Steverson, who was murdered last summer. 

Click here for an article, or at least a portion of an article

In the article linked above one "Nona Champion," who is described as the "godmother" of Steverson, says the teen was loved by everybody. 

So is this "godmother" the same woman who was ripping off electronics from Target in the 1980s as part of systematic shoplifting efforts? Or not? When teenagers end up dead in North Minneapolis, uncomfortable and hard questions need to be asked about who were the people in their life and what kind of an influence were those people? 

And also...

Because inquiring minds want to know...in NoMi.

  1. Interesting collection of posts today, Johnny. I did go look at the FB page referenced in the Bobo posting and his "friends" seem to share many of the hand pointing poses that Navell shared with the mayor. I did see one friend "Eboni ..." that uses the prom photo of Nehemiah Steverson as the page photo. More of the same - posed pictures with liquor, but no actual money or guns. What a tangled web.

  2. Let us not forget about Eddie Champion who was rightfully gunned down like the thieving trash that he was along with his relatives BOBBY..yea...Nona and LuLu.That's right, take off the kid gloves with this asshole family and bust their shit wide open.
    Having Steverson dead also means we do not have to worry about the parasitical piece of shit robbing or killing anyone and that is a fucking positive at least. Shoplift dat BOBBY!

  3. The "kid gloves" comment is reprehensible and I do not approve of its tone or substance. But for purposes of having a vital First Amendment discussion about issues of the day, I am publishing it.

    Our society is not "better" when struggling people in hard circumstances are gunned down.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Comment referencing the afterlife in a grossly inappropriate way has been rejected. Comments that drip hate will be rejected.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Comment rejected which, in summary, says that all this death and suffering is deserved but does so in very crude terms. I am rejecting the comment the way it is phrased not the sentiment, believed by many, that "what comes around goes around."

  6. You violate commenters first amendment rights you two face asshole. You can publish crap about people left and right and then turn into a thin skinned pussy. You are a double faced fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Explain to me, with reference to the actual First Amendment, how I violate anybody's First Amendment rights by rejecting comments? What about my First Amendment right to publish what I please and NOT publish what I do not want to publish? I've made it known plenty of times that if you want your comments published you can't say things that are outrageous, foul and crude.

  8. Please look into the burkholter and stanifer family. They are known crackheads that have been terrorizing north Minneapolis for years! The old ones were into prostitution getting high and major theft while the younger ones do the same now plus murders and other things that have the fbi questioning them every chance they get. Please these two families are cancer to mpls

  9. Tay tay champion is the one that killed nehmiah. That's weird if that's his godmom

    ReplyDelete
  10. With respect, there is no proof of what you are saying or, for that matter, no proof in front of me that somebody named "Tay Tay Champion" even exists. But if you want to tell me more about why you think that, I'm all ears.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Never heard of those two families you just named. In fact, never heard those SURNAMES before. But if you want to tell me something, I am all ears.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Did you put "taytay" into a JNS site search?

    ReplyDelete
  13. That would be BURKHALTER and STANDIFER...get your shit right....and go to Offender Locator....or..the Hennepin County Sherrif Roster, assholes.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Putting "Taytay" (no space in the middle) into a search turns up some interesting stuff, including this name on a previous article about Nehemiah's many social connections.

    Tay-tay Rippuddalocc

    Is that the same guy your comments reference?

    I find it hard to believe the police don't know who shot Nehemiah Steverson but it's almost certainly a matter of getting the guy in custody.

    ReplyDelete
  15. The weird thing is that putting "tay-tay" into a JNS site search gets many different results as compared to "taytay" and ???

    ReplyDelete
  16. Everyone knows taytay did it. I think the police are treating it like a accidental death.

  17. And yea that's his fb

  18. Ava Stanifer- ring leader mother

    Bryant Stanifer/Burkholter aka Clayton FBI is looking for him about murders

    Shantal Minnie Stanifer-currently on the run

    Curtis Stanifer
    Willie Stanifer -currently in jail

    Keith Burkholder - father and has a mile long rap sheet of his own.there are more cousins aunts uncles - thus is a big family that the north side could do without.Between guns,drugs,weapons,forgery,shoplifting,auto theft,assault,murder the list goes on. Someone needs to shine a bright light on these family's and they need to pay for this terrible city!there may be a reward for shantel or Minnie lol considering she's been on the run for years now. Ask any mpls pd and they no this family and not because their sweet.north side Johnny you could make some things happen with this. It all ties into the champions and nunnns.

  20. Do you mean "Minnie Shantal Stanifer" instead of "Shantal Minnie Stanifer?"

    ReplyDelete
  21. OK, so "Minnie Shantel Stanifer" has a record but I don't see any evidence she's wanted on a warrant. She does owe court fines.

    Here's her rap sheet, though not all of these many represent actual convictions.

  23. Does your comment reference Bryant LEE Stanifer, born 1990, or Bryant CLAYTON Stanifer, born in in 1984? I assume you mean the second one, since his name also comes up on MNCIS as Bryant BURKHLTR (sic) Stanifer? But they're both from the 55411 zip code and they both live a criminal lifestyle.

    ReplyDelete
  24. They have two different birthdays six years apart, roughly. Is your comment trying to tell me these are the SAME PERSON?

    Showing a MILLION DOLLAR BAIL? Seems a bit large for just a weapon charge. OK, you've got me interested. I'm not convinced that "Stanifer/Burkhltr" (sp?) needs to be added to the list of crime families, but you never know...the list is surely a work in progress.

    Tell me more, anonymous commenter. You haven't shown how any of this "ties in" with Champions or with the Nunns, who only have THREE n's in their name, by the way, not FOUR.

    Unless that was a too-subtle joke.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Mostly it's just talk on the streets, but there were a couple other boys there when it happened i guess taytay was playing with a gun and accidentally fired. The only thing that is really on fb is arguments under pictures of nemiah and taytay.

    ReplyDelete
  30. If the authorities have decided it was an accident I do not see any need to write about this alleged "Tay Tay" or any other minor who accidentally killed Nehemiah, unless that individual is (or becomes) involved in other newsworthy activities.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am certainly not responsible for what comes out of YOUR mouth.
