Minneapolis (KROC AM News) - Two Twin Cities men have pleaded guilty to starting a fire inside the Target headquarters in downtown Minneapolis last summer.
The arson case was part of a night of looting and rioting that broke out after a murder suspect killed himself as officers were moving in to arrest him. The man’s death was quickly portrayed falsely on social media as a police officer-involved shooting and the criminal activity soon spread.
Pleading guilty Monday in federal court to arson charges were 34-year-old Shador Jackson of Richfield and 34-year-old LeRoy Williams of Minneapolis. They will be sentenced in May.
