James Lamont Chapman, a 54-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on a Saturday night in May 2017 in Fridley, Minnesota. He had gone to a residence on Osborne Road to sell marijuana to a man identified as Bryston Markeis Hill-Turnipseed. Chapman and the homeowner were in a basement music studio to conduct the transaction.

About ten minutes into the meeting, Hill-Turnipseed left the room and returned with another man later identified as 44-year-old Johnny Earl Edwards. Hill-Turnipseed and Edwards fled but were found the next day at a gas station on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis and arrested.

Both Hill-Turnipseed of Hopkins and Edwards of Brooklyn Center were charged with second-degree murder. The homeowner identified Edwards as the shooter at the drug sale that became deadly. Does anyone have information about Chapman’s movements that night or about the residence on Osborne Road?
