On the afternoon of June 11, 2019, 39-year-old Steven Markey was sitting in his parked car in Northeast Minneapolis near 14th Avenue Northeast and Tyler Street Northeast when two teenagers approached with bandanas over their faces and semi-automatic pistols to attempt an armed robbery. According to later admissions, the 16-year-old, Jered Ohsman, ordered Markey from the vehicle and said he fired after seeing Markey reach for something. Markey was struck by multiple gunshot wounds, drove a short distance before crashing into a building at 14th and Central Avenue, and died at a local medical center.

The two youths fled, hid a backpack containing the guns, and later that evening were linked to a stolen car and a burglary before a police pursuit ended in a crash and their arrest. Both were initially charged as juveniles with second-degree murder; the county sought adult certification. Ohsman was certified as an adult, pleaded guilty, and received a 21-year prison sentence. The younger assailant, Husayn Braveheart, was later certified as an adult after appeals; a plea deal reduced his exposure, he pleaded to lesser charges, was sentenced to time served with probation on aggravated robbery counts, and warrants were later issued for probation violations.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember seeing the car or the teens near 14th and Tyler that afternoon?
