Roland Chalmous Hopewell, 36, was shot and killed on September 25, 2021, outside GM Tobacco on Minnehaha Avenue in Minneapolis. He was leaving the store with his girlfriend, who was pregnant with his child, and her infant when they were confronted by her ex-boyfriend, Myshun Steven Cason Logan, 35, who arrived in a red Kia Sorento. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Logan threatening the couple, then drawing a semi-automatic handgun and firing multiple shots. Hopewell was found unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds and later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Text messages on the woman’s phone allegedly show Logan had previously assaulted Hopewell and threatened to kill both Hopewell and the woman. A warrant was issued for Logan’s arrest; his last known location at the time was in Illinois. Anyone who witnessed the confrontation outside GM Tobacco or who has information about the days before the shooting is asked to come forward.
