On the evening of December 10, 2025, officers in Minneapolis responded to reports of gunfire in the Hawthorne neighborhood near the 2900 block of Emerson Avenue North. ShotSpotter alerts and multiple 911 calls led police to find 20-year-old Tywann Robinson on the sidewalk with multiple life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was taken to North Memorial Health Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Surveillance footage and court documents show Robinson had been walking with his girlfriend just before the shooting. A white GMC Yukon pulled up, a physical confrontation occurred between Robinson and the vehicle’s driver, and a passenger exited, approached, and fired at Robinson. The passenger was identified as 40-year-old Isaac Nathaniel Childress Jr. The footage showed Robinson fall and the shooter fire additional rounds before both suspects fled; license plate reader data later traced the SUV to a relative of the suspect.

Isaac Nathaniel Childress Jr. was arrested on December 16 after indicating he intended to turn himself in and was charged with second-degree murder with intent, not premeditated. During questioning he allegedly admitted to shooting Robinson, saying he blacked out and was attempting to protect his family. Bail was set at $1 million. Does anyone have information about Robinson, where he spent time that night, or the events leading up to the confrontation?
