On the morning of November 12, 2021, 21-year-old Kavanian Ladarius Dante Palmer was shot and killed at the intersection of West Broadway Avenue and Lyndale Avenue N in Minneapolis. Hall of Golden Valley, ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle. As Hall attempted to flee on foot, Palmer and two others chased him to try to stop him.

During the struggle, Hall produced a handgun and fired, striking Palmer in the chest. Palmer was taken to North Memorial Health Hospital and later pronounced dead. Hall fled to a nearby Cub Foods parking lot, attempted to carjack a woman, and was ultimately detained by bystanders and members of the community anti-violence group We Push For Peace, who were working as security at the store; a gun was recovered during the struggle and witnesses also recovered a bullet-resistant vest and a backpack containing drugs that belonged to Hall.

Hall was charged in connection with Palmer’s death and later entered a plea to second-degree unintentional murder and attempted robbery, resulting in a 25-year sentence; with credit for time served it is expected he will serve about 16 and a half years in prison, the remainder on supervised release.
