One of the men charged following a fatal shooting at Mall of America in late 2022 will spend multiple decades in prison.
Thursday morning, Hennepin County Judge Paul Scoggin sentenced 19-year-old TaeShawn Adams-Wright to more than 30 years (367 months) in prison for his role in the killing of 19-year-old Johntae Raymon Hudson on Dec. 23, 2022.
Police say it all started as a fight at Nordstrom before escalating to gunshots. Court documents note that surveillance video showed Adams-Wright and Lavon Semaj Longstreet brandishing handguns before Hudson was chased and shot 11 times. The video then showed the two standing over Hudson at different points, with the video capturing muzzle flashes.
In addition to Hudson, a woman at the store was also grazed by a bullet but survived.
