Following a press conference calling for charges against North High School principal Mauri Friestleben for ’criminal negligence’ in leading a protest that let school out early and put student Deshaun Hill on the street where he was shot and killed, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) says it will not seek additional charges for her actions.
Minneapolis Public Schools Principal Mauri Friestleben has been terminated from her role, citing her participation in a student-led walkout earlier this year. Friestleben, the principal at North Community High School in the Near North neighborhood, announced in a release that Friday was her last day.
Less than two weeks after North High student Deshaun Hill was shot and killed – sending shock waves through the north Minneapolis community – a memorial service was held Tuesday at North Central University.
Prosecutors have charged a man with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting star student-athlete Deshaun Hill in the head on Feb. 9 after the two bushed shoulders while passing each other on a sidewalk.
