Charges: Gang Member Charged for Shooting of Mother, Child in South Mpls.

A 24-year-old Minneapolis man who police say is a gang member is now charged in Thursday's shooting of an innocent mother and her child.

On Monday, the Hennepin County Attorney's office charged 27-year-old Dontae Peterson with eight counts of attempted murder and assault. Police announced an arrest Friday.

Police say Peterson was arguing with a man, only identified as OT2, and his associates.

At about 2:15 p.m. on June 18, Peterson noticed OT2 and his friends were riding in a light-colored SUV that was traveling north on Park Avenue. Peterson ran through Peavey Park and stood between two parked cars. As the SUV approached, Peterson admitted he fired his gun at least eight times, emptying it, according to the criminal complaint.

Shandrea Spielman and her 15-month-old child were caught in the gunfire. Both survived being shot; the child has permanent damage to her intestines and bowels, according to the criminal complaint.

“This is outrageous, criminal behavior that resulted in an innocent mother and child suffering terrible wounds,” Freeman said. “Minneapolis police investigators and our prosecutor worked tirelessly since the shooting to bring this case together. We will do everything in our power to prove Mr. Peterson guilty and make sure he does some serious time.”

Peterson is expected to make his first court appearance Tuesday and the county attorney’s office is asking for bail of $1 million.

“We continue to be told that there isn’t a gang problem in Minneapolis...”

Maybe there isn’t a gang problem in Minnie-a-no-place but there is a HUGE gang problem in St. Paul, all of 10 blocks away. This sounds like a jurisdictional escape clause where perps are able to drive across municipal boundaries to avoid pursuit.

Gang murders like this are on the rise due to global warming. Or white privilege. Or social inequality. Or the high cost of community college. Or crumbling roads and bridges. Or the need of a $15 dollar minimum wage. Or healthcare. Or the high cost of contraceptives. Or racism. Or ...

Maybe Zer0 will do the eulogy at the funeral. After all, black lives matter (unless killed by other blacks)

This would not have happened if he had bought liability insurance when he was getting the gun at the local gun shop after his background check.
