On the evening of May 6, 2021, 19-year-old George Frances Zeon, a Black man from Plymouth, Minnesota, was shot while pumping gas at an Amstar station on West Broadway in north Minneapolis. Witness accounts say two young men approached Zeon and his girlfriend and questioned him about a supposed gang affiliation; Zeon denied it. One of the men then produced a handgun and opened fire. Zeon was struck multiple times, including a fatal wound to the head, and later died at North Memorial Medical Center. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by complications of the gunshot wound.

Surveillance footage led investigators to identify a 17-year-old suspect, Albert J. Lucas IV, and the getaway vehicle’s driver, Yalayna R. Butcher-Griffin, later identified Lucas in a photo lineup and was taken into custody. Lucas was arrested on June 1, 2021, and charged with second-degree intentional murder. The driver pleaded guilty to aiding an offender after the fact and agreed to cooperate in the case.

Does anyone have information about George’s movements that evening or about witnesses who saw the vehicle that fled the scene?
