On the morning of September 9, 2018, a deadly shootout at Emerson Food Market in Minneapolis left 18-year-old Jamarius Marquis Shief dead. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled Shief’s death a homicide, listing multiple gunshot wounds as the cause. The encounter began when Shief and an associate, 19-year-old Demerio D. Davis, entered the store and had a discussion with two men, 23-year-old Samuel T. Abron-Yeager and Kevin Martinez. After briefly leaving and returning, Shief assaulted Martinez while Davis opened fire on Abron-Yeager. In the ensuing exchange Abron-Yeager, although wounded, drew a weapon and pursued Davis, firing several shots. Authorities believe Abron-Yeager fired the shots that fatally wounded Shief; Abron-Yeager later collapsed and died at a hospital.

Davis was arrested a few blocks from the scene and charged in connection with Abron-Yeager’s death; Kevin Martinez was charged for his role and later pleaded guilty to aiding an offender after taking Abron-Yeager’s gun and fleeing. Does anyone have information about the events inside the market that morning or about Jamarius’s movements before he entered the store?
