A body was discovered in the rubble of a pawn shop that rioters burned down in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody.
Investigators going through the burned wreckage at Max It Pawn on Lake Street in Minneapolis found a dead body of what is believed to be an adult male.
A Minnesota resident, 25-year-old Montez Terriel Lee, was charged last month with arson of the pawn shop.
Being that the body found in the rubble “appeared to have suffered thermal injuries,” investigators believe there is a connection between the arson and the death, John Elder, a Minneapolis police spokesman, told The Epoch Times in an email.
Minneapolis Police homicide detectives have taken over the case. The identity, along with the nature and cause of death, will be released by the Medical Examiner’s Office in the coming days.
The pawn shop was torched on May 28 amid riots in the wake of Floyd’s death. The black man died in police custody on Memorial Day after being accused of forgery.
Rioters burned down or damaged hundreds of stores in the Twin Cities.
EZCorp, the company that owns Max It Pawn, didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The shop is located several blocks from the Third Precinct, a police station that was torched after city officials ordered officers to abandon it.
Lee was captured on video pouring liquid from a metal container throughout the shop, according to charging documents (pdf).
Another video showed Lee standing in front of the burning store. After one man asks him, “What you do, Tez?” he says: “[expletive] this place. We’re gonna burn this [expletive] down.”
A third video showed a group of men, including Lee, joking about restaurants they planned to “hit” next. Another portion of that video showed looting of the pawn shop.
WTF???
Felony murder, even if the dead person is a perp.............
I saw video of looters trying to hijack some trucker’s cargo (he had 2 tandem trailers). They were bashing on his vehicle trying to get into the cab and also trying to pry open the trailer doors or release the rear trailer. One guy fell under the second trailer and was crushed and his remains were dragged about a half mile as the driver left the deadly mob who had intent to kill. THEY should be charged with the death of their fellow carjacker.
The driver did pull over at a safe distance and contacted the authorities.
So many deaths that didn’t get MOMENT’S notice in the national media. All of this was briefly seen on youtube, twitter, and facebook.
There was a missing person from a nearby liquor store that was never found, until now.
“Tez” is going to
Burn,
Funny,pay back is a Biotch.
“No joking around: Never eat a wild mushroom unless you know 100% they are safe!”
I suppose thing might move at a slower pace up there, but their noses should have let them know something was up a long time ago.
Conspiracy to Murder. They can all hang together.
A mostly peaceful murder, Citizen.
Minnesota has no death penalty...............since 1911............

Spontaneous combustion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion
“Spontaneous human combustion” refers to the death from a fire originating without an apparent external source of ignition; the fire is believed to start within the body of the victim. This idea, and the term “spontaneous human combustion”, were both first proposed in 1746 by Paul Rolli in an article published in the Philosophical Transactions concerning the mysterious death of Countess Cornelia Zangheri Bandi.[1] Writing in The British Medical Journal in 1938, coroner Gavin Thurston describes the phenomenon as having “apparently attracted the attention not only of the medical profession but of the laity one hundred years ago” (referring to a fictional account published in 1834 in the Frederick Marryat cycle).[2] In his 1995 book Ablaze!, Larry E. Arnold wrote that there had been about 200 cited reports of spontaneous human combustion worldwide over a period of around 300 years.[3]
Well, alrighty, then......................
He's black now.
can i say that???
Now, black rioter lives no longer matter.
Well, he’s black now.
If Pravda didn’t say it happened, it didn’t happen. Ever has it been with communists.
But his bones be white.
I suspect someone opportunistically torched the pawn shop after murdering the pawnbroker and hoped it would go unnoticed in the riot chaos. Just like that bastard that killed his wife during Hurricane Harvey in Houston and blamed it on the Hurricane.
Dano, add murder 1 to the charge. Book ‘em!
Who had 3 balls? The deceased? Why were they even looking?
lol!
