James Jerome Salter, 52, was found fatally shot in the chest on the pavement at 5th Avenue South and Lake Street in Minneapolis in the early hours of July 7, 2016. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Police arrested three people two days later, on July 9: 50-year-old John Allen Davis, 21-year-old Marshawn Daevon Winston, and 18-year-old Mashawn Leon Moore. According to the charges, the men were driving to find a man with whom they had a dispute, could not locate him, and decided instead to rob Salter after suspecting he might have drugs. Moore allegedly exited the vehicle with a shotgun, demanded Salter’s possessions and, after a short delay, shot him in the chest.

Moore later admitted to pointing the shotgun and pulling the trigger; he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years. Winston pleaded guilty to being an accomplice and was awaiting sentencing; Davis had a pretrial hearing set for May 22 of the following year. Does anyone have information about Salter’s last movements that night or saw activity near 5th Avenue South and Lake Street?
