5 arrested after 19-year-old killed in shooting at Mall of America
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Five people are in custody — including three juveniles — after a 19-year-old man died in a shooting that prompted the Mall of America to go on lockdown Friday night.
Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges says around 7:50 p.m., officers heard gunshots on the first floor of Nordstrom. There were 16 officers working in the mall at the time of the shooting.

Hodges says it appears there was a physical altercation prior to the shooting involving anywhere between five to nine individuals. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
A bystander was struck by a stray bullet in their jacket, but was not injured.
In an update Saturday afternoon, Hodges announced that five people were arrested Saturday morning at a residence on the 200 block of Shelard Parkway in St. Louis Park in connection to the shooting. The arrested include three 17-year-old boys and two 18-year-old men.
Police are still looking into the motive.
“We know the how, we know the where, we know the what and we know the who. We don’t know the why,” Hodges said.
All of the suspects were booked on pending charges of second-degree murder, police said. The three 17-year-olds are being held at the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center. Police say charges are possible by Tuesday.
Videos posted on social media show shoppers hiding in stores. Some videos show shoppers running for cover after a loud bang is heard. One bystander’s coat was grazed by a bullet.
This is the second lockdown Mall of America has gone on this year–shots fired outside the Nike store prompted a lockdown in August. On New Year’s Eve of 2021, the mall went into lockdown after two people were shot on the third level of the mall.
The mall bans guns on the premises but does not have metal detectors at its entrances. It began month-long testing of the use of a “weapons detection system” at its north entrance in October.
While the mall reopened Saturday morning, the Nordstrom store remained closed.
“I really feel the family, the mom, the dad, the other relatives the mayor and I spoke to before coming out here–they’re in pain, and rightfully so, for something that should not have happened,” said Hodges.
Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday morning that the violence at the mall on Friday night was “absolutely unacceptable.” He said he was in touch with local officials to provide support and resources.
Mall of America released the following statement Friday evening: “Just before 8 p.m. this evening, Bloomington Police Department responded to a shooting contained in a tenant space. As a result, Mall of America was put into lockdown. The lockdown has since been lifted. The Mall is now closed for the evening.”

5 arrested in fatal shooting of 19-year-old man in Mall of America, police say
Five people were arrested Saturday in connection with the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old man Friday night inside a Nordstrom store at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, authorities said. The shooting prompted a more than one-hour lockdown of the mall.
Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges reported that authorities executed a search warrant Saturday morning at an address in the nearby city of St. Louis Park, where they arrested five males. Three of the suspects were 17-year-old juveniles, and two were 18-year-old adults, Hodges said. Their names were not released.
He said that police were “fairly confident” that they “have the person who was responsible for murdering the victim in custody.”
Detectives, however, are still trying to locate the murder weapon, Hodges disclosed, adding that they were working to determine if there was a second shooter involved in the incident as well.

Hodges told reporters in an earlier briefing that an officer heard the gunshots coming from the first floor of the Nordstrom at about 7:50 p.m. local time Friday. The officer responded to find the victim with multiple gunshot wounds.
The victim died at the scene despite lifesaving efforts, Hodges said. His name was not immediately provided.
According to Hodges, surveillance video showed that the shooting appeared to have been precipitated by “some kind of altercation between two groups” of males. One of them then pulled out a gun and opened fire.
The jacket of a woman, who Hodges described as “an innocent bystander,” was also grazed by a bullet, but she was unhurt.
About five to seven people ran out of the store following the shooting, Hodges said.
The mall was placed on lockdown after the shots were fired, during which customers and employees were asked to “remain in the closest secure location.” The lockdown was lifted a little after 9 p.m. local time.
Both Bloomington and St. Louis Park are part of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area.
This marks the second time in past five months the Mall of America has been placed on lockdown due to a shooting. On Aug. 4, shots were fired near the cash registers of a Nike store, but no injuries occurred.
That shooting caused chaos, sending panicked customers and employees running for safety. Hodges said at the time that there had also been an altercation between two groups. One of the groups left, but then returned, and one person fired three shots into the store, Hodges said.
Two men suspected of being involved in the shooting were arrested days later following a multiagency manhunt. Three others were also arrested, accused of helping the two men escape.
The mall began testing the use of a “weapons detection system” at its north entrance in October, according to CBS Minnesota.
Mall of America in Minnesota shooting: 19-year-old dead after an altercation
CNN
—
A 19-year-old man was shot and killed Friday during an altercation at Minnesota’s Mall of America, the largest shopping center in the US, police said.
Officers heard gunshots on the first floor of Nordstrom just before 8 p.m. local time. When they entered the department store, they found a man shot multiple times, Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a news conference late Friday night. Police are working to identify the suspect.
Lifesaving measures were performed but were unsuccessful, while a bystander who was grazed by a bullet is expected to survive, Hodges said.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said his office was working with local officials to provide support and resources, tweeting that “the violence at MOA last night is absolutely unacceptable.”
Police are expected to provide an update on the investigation Saturday evening.
The 30-year-old mall, about 10 miles south of downtown Minneapolis, is a popular tourist destination in the Midwest, with tens of millions of visitors each year. The giant shopping complex boasts more than 500 stores, more than 50 dining options, dozens of attractions and two hotels, according to its owners.
Friday’s shooting comes about five months after suspects fired gunshots into a crowded store at the mall. No injuries were reported in the August incident.
A preliminary investigation into Friday’s incident indicated there was an altercation between about five to nine people inside Nordstrom. Store surveillance video showed a male pulling out a gun and shooting the victim, Hodges said.
“We have an incident where if someone decides that they want to pull out a gun and shoot somebody with complete lack of disrespect for human life, I still don’t know what we can do to stop that,” Hodges said.
A motive for the shooting has not yet been determined.
Jovonta Patton, a Billboard gospel singer, was filming an Instagram reel at a Gucci location inside Nordstrom when gunshots went off in the background.
Patton quickly ran to the back room of the store to hide for about 15 minutes, where about six or seven others had also taken cover, he told CNN.
Several New York Giants players were also inside the mall at the time of the shooting, according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.
The team was staying at a hotel nearby ahead of a game against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis on Saturday. Giants spokesperson Pat Hanlon told the Associated Press on Friday that the players who were at the mall during the shooting had made it back to the hotel, and that everyone had been accounted for.
CNN has reached out to the New York Giants for comment.
Team announcer, Bob Papa, was also inside the mall during the incident.
“Scary here @mallofamerica,” he tweeted Friday. “Shooting in mall. On lockdown at #TwinCitiesGrill. Two gunmen at least one victim.” An hour later, Papa said, “Safely out of mall and back at hotel. Prayers to victim.”
19-year-old Khorry Ramey too you to witness Kevin Johnson’s execution: Judge
A 19-year-old woman is too young to witness the state of Missouri execute her father, who was sentenced to death for killing a police officer when he was a teen, a federal judge ruled.
Khorry Ramey requested to be present for Kevin Johnson’s final moments, but US District Judge Brian Wimes said in a ruling that execution witnesses need to be at least 21 years old, NBC News reported.
Missouri and Nevada are the only states that require witnesses to be 21, Ramey’s attorneys argued.
“I’m heartbroken that I won’t be able to be with my dad in his last moments,” Ramey said in a statement, adding that he “has worked very hard to rehabilitate himself in prison. I pray that [Gov. Mike] Parson will give my dad clemency.”
Johnson, now 37, is scheduled to die by lethal injection Nov. 29 for the 2005 killing of Kirkwood Police Officer William McEntee, a crime he committed when he was 19 and Ramey was 2.
He selected his daughter as one of the five people permitted to witness his death, but the Missouri Department of Corrections rejected the request, a move the ACLU argued violates both the First and Fourteenth amendments.
“Missouri executes people, like Mr. Johnson, for crimes committed as adults but before their 21st birthday illustrates the irrationality of the statute’s requirement that execution witnesses not only be adults but also at least 21 years old,” the filing states.
Missing her father’s execution will cause Ramey “irreparable harm,” her attorneys said.
In a court declaration earlier this week, Ramey called Johnson “the most important person in my life.”
Ramey and Johnson have a very close relationship and he is her only living parent, the ACLU said. She witnessed the murder of her mother at the hands of an ex-boyfriend when she was just 4 years old.
With the execution date looming, Johnson’s attorneys are filing appeals to save his life. They admit Johnson’s guilt, but argue that a history of mental illness and argue his age at the time of the crime should warrant court intervention. They also claim racism played a role in his death penalty sentencing — Johnson is black and McEntee was white.
McEntee arrived at Johnson’s home in 2005 to serve an arrest warrant to Johnson, who police believed violated the probation he was on for assaulting his girlfriend.
When McEntee showed up at the house, Johnson’s younger brother, Joseph “Bam Bam” Long, 12, ran next door to their grandmother’s house, where he collapsed and began having a seizure.
Johnson testified that McEntee kept the boys’ mother from going into the house to help the seizing boy. Joseph later died at a hospital.
Upon seeing McEntee in the neighborhood later that evening, Johnson approached the officer and shot him twice.
“The surviving victims of Johnson’s crimes have waited long enough for justice, and every day longer that they must wait is a day they are denied the chance to finally make peace with their loss,” stated a state petition filed last week by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office to the Supreme Court.

Kevin Johnson execution: 19-year-old asks court to let her watch father’s death by injection in Missouri
A 19-year-old woman is asking a federal court to allow her to watch her father’s death by injection, despite a Missouri law barring anyone under 21 from witnessing an execution.
Kevin Johnson faces execution on Nov. 29 for the 2005 killing of William McEntee, a Kirkwood, Missouri, police officer. Johnson’s lawyers have appeals pending that seek to spare his life.

Meanwhile, Johnson has requested that his daughter, Khorry Ramey, attend the execution, and she wants to be there. On Monday, the American Civil Liberties Union filed an emergency motion with a federal court in Kansas City. The ACLU’s court filing said the law barring anyone under 21 from witnessing an execution serves no safety purpose and violates Ramey’s Constitutional rights.
Ramey, in a court declaration, called Johnson “the most important person in my life.”
“If my father were dying in the hospital, I would sit by his bed holding his hand and praying for him until his death, both as a source of support for him, and as a support for me as a necessary part of my grieving process and for my peace of mind,” Ramey said.
Johnson, now 37, has been incarcerated since Ramey was 2. The ACLU said the two have been able to built a bond through visits, phone calls, emails and letters. Last month, she brought her newborn son to the prison to meet his grandfather.
“I have a son that needs his papa and I’m a daughter who needs her dad,” Ramey said, according to CBS affiliate KMOV.
ACLU attorney Anthony Rothert said if Ramey can’t attend the execution it will cause her “irreparable harm.”
Michelle Smith, spokesperson for Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, told KMOV that if a person can be sentenced to death at 19, his family member has the right to be a witness when the state executes her father.
Meanwhile, Johnson’s lawyers have filed appeals seeking to halt the execution. They don’t challenge his guilt but claim racism played a role in the decision to seek the death penalty, and in the jury’s decision to sentence him to die. Johnson is Black and McEntee was White.
Johnson’s lawyers also have asked the courts to intervene for other reasons, including a history of mental illness and his age – he was 19 at the time of the crime. Courts have increasingly moved away from sentencing teen offenders to death since the Supreme Court in 2005 banned the execution of offenders who were younger than 18 at the time of their crime.
In a court filing last week to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Missouri Attorney General’s Office stated there were no grounds for court intervention.
“The surviving victims of Johnson’s crimes have waited long enough for justice, and every day longer that they must wait is a day they are denied the chance to finally make peace with their loss,” the state petition stated.
McEntee, a husband and father of three, was among the police officers sent to Johnson’s home on July 5, 2005, to serve a warrant for his arrest. Johnson was on probation for assaulting his girlfriend, and police believed he had violated probation.
Johnson saw officers arrive and awoke his 12-year-old brother, Joseph “Bam Bam” Long, who ran next door to their grandmother’s house. Once there, the boy, who suffered from a congenital heart defect, collapsed and began having a seizure.
Johnson testified at trial that McEntee kept his mother from entering the house to aid his brother, who died a short time later at a hospital.
Later that evening, McEntee returned to the neighborhood to check on unrelated reports of fireworks being shot off. That’s when he encountered Johnson.
Johnson pulled a gun and shot the officer. He then approached the wounded, kneeling officer and shot him again, killing him.

The execution would be the first of three in the coming months in Missouri. The state plans to execute convicted killers Scott McLaughlin on Jan. 3 and Leonard Taylor on Feb. 7.
According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Missouri has 20 inmates on death row.
Sixteen men have been executed in the U.S. this year. Alabama inmate Kenneth Eugene Smith had been scheduled to die Thursday for killing a preacher’s wife in a murder-for-hire plot, but the execution was halted because state officials couldn’t find a suitable vein to inject the lethal drugs.
