On the morning of April 8, 2015, in North Minneapolis, 47-year-old Odell Frazier was fatally shot outside his home on the 4500 block of Penn Avenue North. Frazier, a father of nine who had moved his family from Chicago, was reportedly preparing his young daughter for school and stepped outside to meet 56-year-old Eddie Pelmore in a parked car. Two individuals approached the vehicle and at least one opened fire, striking both men; both victims were pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to the head.

An officer arriving after the shooting saw two men running and chased them. One fleeing man, later identified as 21-year-old Brian Deshawn Morse of Chicago, tossed a handgun over a fence before being taken into custody. Ballistics matched that recovered weapon to the killings. Morse initially denied being the shooter but admitted he was present and that blood on his pants belonged to the victims. Investigators suggested a planned marijuana sale from Pelmore to Morse was connected to the motive. A 30-year-old Minneapolis man, identified as Leland Ethridge, turned himself in days later and was arrested; reports indicate he had not been formally charged.

Did anyone who knew Odell Frazier or his movements that morning see something that could add to the record?
