My husband, a loving father to our one-year-old son, was shot on July 3rd, 2023 and tragically passed away three weeks later. The perpetrator of this heinous act was a juvenile who not only targeted my husband but also his friend. Despite the severity of the crime, Prosecutor Mary is considering lenient punishment - a mere slap on the wrist. This is not justice for my husband.

Minneapolis has been grappling with an increase in violent crimes involving juveniles. According to statistics from the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), there has been an alarming rise in such incidents over recent years. This trend cannot continue unchecked.

We must demand that our justice system takes these crimes seriously and holds perpetrators accountable for their actions – regardless of their age. We need your support to ensure that Prosecutor Mary understands the gravity of this case and pursues appropriate charges against the juvenile responsible for my husband's death.

Please join us in demanding justice for my husband and safety for all residents of Minneapolis by signing this petition today!
