On the evening of August 11, 2023, a backyard punk show at a Minneapolis house venue known as Nudieland ended in a mass shooting. Nicholas Trevor August Golden, 35, a musician who performed as August and fronted the punk band Scrounger, was killed by a gunshot wound to the chest. About 30 to 50 people were at the show; six others were injured.

Attendees described Nudieland as a known safe space for the local punk and LGBTQ+ communities. Two individuals who were not part of that community opened fire. Witnesses said the pair had made hostile, queerphobic remarks before the shooting. Two 17-year-old teens, Dominic J. Burris and Cyrell E. Boyd, were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and multiple counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. One of the teens received a 23-year prison sentence.

If anyone attended the show or has information about the events that night, please share details that could help the community and those affected.
