MINNEAPOLIS — An 18-year-old and two juveniles were charged Thursday in connection with a fatal shooting last week at the Mall of America that sent shoppers into an active shooter lockdown for a third time since last holiday season.
Taeshawn Adams Wright, 18, of Minneapolis, is charged with second-degree murder and second-degree assault, while two 17-year-olds are charged with second-degree riot in connection with the killing of Johntae Hudson, 19, of St. Paul inside Nordstrom as customers and employees scrambled for cover.
Police say a dispute between the two groups of young men led up to the Dec. 23 gunfire. On Christmas Eve, SWAT officers arrested five people, ages 17 and 18, at a St. Louis Park home.
