A neighborhood dispute in Minneapolis’ Sumner-Glenwood area ended the life of 12-year-old London Michael Bean on September 8, 2021. London had just finished his first day of sixth grade at Sojourner Truth Academy when a fight broke out in the 800 block of North Aldrich Avenue around 3:40 p.m. Witnesses say the altercation involved London and another boy.

An 18-year-old man later identified as Jeremiah Marquise Grady arrived at the scene wearing a black ski mask. He allegedly displayed a handgun, shouted at the crowd and fired multiple shots; two bullets struck London in the chest and abdomen. London was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center and pronounced dead; the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds. A warrant was issued for Grady’s arrest and he was charged with second-degree murder and related counts.

It was reported that Grady’s father, Letterance Grady, was accused of urging retaliation against London’s family. London’s grandmother spoke at a later hearing, holding his ashes and describing the family’s loss. Does anyone have additional information about London’s last afternoon or the people who were at North Aldrich Avenue that day?
