Jermaine Jabaar Typray Barker, 35, was shot and killed in downtown Minneapolis in the early hours of August 27, 2025. The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. near 8th Street North and Hennepin Avenue in the theater district while Barker was playing a dice game on the sidewalk with others. Barker was struck 13 times and died of multiple gunshot wounds; another 21-year-old man was wounded and survived.

Surveillance footage shows the suspect rifling through Barker’s pockets and belongings after the shooting, crossing the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, entering an apartment in St. Anthony Main to change clothes, then leaving by vehicle. The Minneapolis Police Department, with help from the U.S. Marshals Service, arrested Tyrone De Shun Childs Jr. in the 700 block of 12th Avenue N; he faces charges including second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and second-degree assault and is being held on $1 million bail. The shooting was one of three fatal shootings in Minneapolis that day.

Does anyone have information about Barker’s activities that night or additional footage from the Hennepin Avenue area?
