Candice Latrice Hackett, 45, was shot during an outbreak of violence outside a gathering spot linked to the Hell’s Lovers Motorcycle Club on Minneapolis’s North Side in the early hours of April 2, 2017. Witnesses described an argument that escalated into a chaotic brawl and a rapid burst of gunfire. Hackett suffered a gunshot wound to the head, was taken to North Memorial Medical Center in critical condition, and died on April 5, 2017, from complications of that wound.

The same night left other people injured: one man with an abdominal stab wound and another with a gunshot injury. Police activity after the incident included at least two arrests and recovery of firearms — one man detained at the scene with a gun and another, described as 21 years old, arrested after fleeing on a motorcycle with a second handgun recovered. Reports identified Kelvin McInnis, 31, and Andrew Tyus, 21, as arrested on gun charges related to the incident, but neither was charged in Hackett’s killing at that time while the investigation continued.

Hackett’s death compounded an earlier family tragedy: she was the mother of Chad Robertson, who had been fatally shot weeks earlier in Chicago by an Amtrak police officer. If anyone witnessed the confrontation near Upton Avenue North and Golden Valley Road that night or has information about who fired the fatal shot, please come forward.
