Stevi Rae Palacio, 34, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Minneapolis in the early hours of August 9, 2023. Officers found her on the sidewalk near Thomas and Oak Park avenues North with a life-threatening gunshot wound to the back. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Doorbell camera footage showed a cargo van pull up beside Palacio. A person in the front passenger seat fired once as she stood outside a residence; as she tried to run, the same person fired seven more times, one bullet striking her in the back. Investigators later found the van in an apartment complex garage; the passenger-side window was shattered and fingerprints belonging to two men were recovered inside.

Two suspects were identified: Tremaine Michael Bucholz and Derrick Lamond Johnson Sr. Bucholz was arrested and admitted being in the van but denied firing the gun; Johnson was later apprehended in Houston, Texas. Bucholz has been found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 30 years; Johnson has been charged and is awaiting trial. The motive has not been disclosed.

If anyone has information about Palacio, her movements that night, or the van seen on camera, please come forward.
