On the evening of June 1, 2025, a mass shooting at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis left 23-year-old Stageina Katraya Shapryia Whiting dead. Whiting, a Black woman from Brooklyn Center, was a student, a caregiver for children with special needs, and the mother of an infant daughter. She was found in a vehicle near the park entrance with a fatal gunshot wound to the torso and died that night at Hennepin Healthcare.

Authorities described the park as a war zone, with over 130 shell casings from at least nine different guns. A large crowd had moved to Boom Island after being dispersed from another park, and witnesses tied a confrontation to gang rivalries that escalated into gunfire around 9:30 p.m., injuring at least six other people.

In late June, 23-year-old Zyere Jakye Porter was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and drive-by shooting in connection with the case. A second 23-year-old, Marquez Demar Hill-Turnipseed, was subsequently charged with two counts of second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted second-degree murder; the criminal complaint says he admitted to being the passenger who fired into the crowd and that both men went to the park at the request of gang members to confront rivals. Did anyone who knew Stageina or was at Boom Island that night see the Challenger or the individuals involved?
