Ariana Marie Bradley, 24, was killed in downtown Minneapolis on the night of May 8, 2021. Around 10:20 p.m. a verbal altercation in an alley escalated when a woman with another group reportedly drew a handgun and accidentally shot a male acquaintance in the leg. That woman tended the injured man while a member of her group, later identified as 45-year-old Otis Terrell Givens, took the firearm.

Bradley and a male companion left the alley and went into a nearby parking garage. Surveillance footage shows Givens follow them, walk past Bradley’s companion and shoot Bradley in the back of the head as she tried to flee. The medical examiner determined she died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; a man suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Minneapolis police arrested Sheavery Sharnez Starr, 30, and Otis Terrell Givens within days; Starr was later released pending formal charges and Givens was charged with second-degree murder. Investigators identified Givens using surveillance video, witness statements and receipts from a nearby bar; his brightly colored salmon pants on footage were noted in the investigation. If anyone knew Ariana or saw the events that night, please share what can help the case.
