On the early morning of July 5, 2015, 16-year-old Sabrae Monte McAlester of St. Louis Park was shot near a bus shelter at Hennepin Avenue and Fourth Street in downtown Minneapolis after an argument between two groups. Officers on foot patrol heard gunfire and found a crowd fleeing; two people had been shot. Sabrae was struck in the head and taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he died on July 7. The other victim, a 24-year-old man, was shot in the thigh and survived. Sabrae’s family donated his organs.

Minneapolis police identified 18-year-old Dejon Frazier of Burnsville as a suspect. Surveillance video captured the argument; witnesses described a shooter in a camouflaged hooded sweatshirt. Frazier was arrested soon after in matching clothing but released; officers later found him following another shooting on July 8 and recovered a .38-caliber handgun that ballistics testing linked to Sabrae’s killing. In September 2015 Frazier was charged with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.

Does anyone have information about Sabrae’s last known movements downtown or about witnesses who saw the dispute that night?
