Thanks to an anonymous commenter who put this ol' blogger bloodhound on the scent, I've managed to confirm Devonere Armani Johnson is indeed the guy accused of an October 25 shooting on the "Bloody No. 19" bus route. Maddeningly, I still don't know the name of the victim, pictured above, except his initials are "L.G." and he goes by...

An anonymous commenter pointed me to Devonere Armani Johnson (DOB 10/10/91) on the jail roster. But only this much can I positively confirm right now:  

Johnson is charged with First Degree Assault, Great Bodily Harm. This kind of charge would be consistent with, for example, paralyzing somebody from the neck down. 

Johnson's bail is...

GUEST POST BY CAMDEN CANARY

We’ve been hearing quite a bit about the Ken Welch, Assertive Properties, and all of the homes they own on the Northside, including the notorious 1611 Hillside. So, let’s take a deeper look into the people and properties involved.

The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State has filings for a number of related companies, all connected by shared names or addresses...

Information Comes Floating My Way About Assertive Minneapolis Properties, LLC, And It Doesn't Look Good...

Yesterday I wrote a blog post about accused murderer Damin L. Shufford, who mainstream media said lived in New Hope (and lord knows he might) but in looking over the Hennepin County Jail Roster I found him listed at 3651 Fremont Ave. North. This address is owned by Assertive Minneapolis Properties LLC, a name that has been associated with nothing good since it first "pinged" upon the radar of this blog.

Now I find out why. Click here for a very interesting and informative chart. Then click here for another informative document which contains much the same information, only organized in a different form.

THIS INFORMATION WAS MORE OR LESS GIFTED TO ME. It was not compiled by me and any mistakes it contains are not mine. In some cases, there are no assertions made. Any connections have to be drawn by the reader. 

There's a reason why JNS blog is so careful to trace the ownership of properties linked (sometimes allegedly) to known and/or accused criminals...

Damin Lee Shufford (DOB 12/14/83) is accused of a shocking crime; shooting a 59-year old robbery victim because (as Shufford allegedy phrased it) "it's something I do to relieve stress." 

Click here for Star Tribune article or, if you hate annoying pop up ads as much as I do, click here for CBS Minnesota.  

The STrib says Shufford is from New Hope, Minnesota, which is also where the murder was allegedly committed. But looking at the  jail roster tonight, I noticed Shufford's address is listed in North Minneapolis: 3651 Fremont Ave. N.

The address in question is a rental owned by...

I don't know if Levi Braziel is related to murder victim Kevin Braziel or not, but the surname caught my attention on the jail roster and that's how I've ended up writing about Levi's drug arrest in South Minneapolis.

According to a criminal complaint, click here, a confidential informant told police that a black male known as "LA" was selling crack cocaine on Franklin Ave. E. and 10th Ave. S. in Minneapolis. This is the second example of a...

True To Its Name, The "Hillside Hotspot" Catches Fire, Leaving 24 People Homeless...I SAY AGAIN 24 PEOPLE! ALL IN ONE DUPLEX! WTF?!

Contributed photos, blog post by John Hoff

It was the Hillside Chronicles blog which gave 1611 Hillside Ave. N. its nickname:

"The Hotspot."

Turns out the name was eerily prescient, because this morning it caught fire and burned...
