GoFundMe For MN Teen Johntae Hudson Victim Shot Dead At Mall Of America Friday

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (THECOUNT) — Johntae Hudson gofundme: Johntae Hudson, of St. Paul, Minnesota, has been identified as the victim in a fatal shooting at the Mall of America in a dispute between two groups of young men at Nordstrom on Friday.

Hudson, 19, was fatally shot at Nordstrom late Friday night during an altercation with a group of men.

On Saturday, Bloomington Police arrested five people in the shooting. All suspects would be charged with second-degree murder on Tuesday, according to officials.

The shooting occurred in Nordstrom late Friday night amid last-minute Christmas shoppers. The Mall of America then went into an hour-long lockdown, reports StarTribune.

The five teenagers were arrested by SWAT officers at a St. Louis Park home. Two are 18 years old and three are 17 years old, Hodges said. He said one of the older men was the shooter but that another also may have fired. Police were still searching for a sixth suspect.

Police say the two groups of young men were involved in a physical fight in Nordstrom, an anchor tenant of the mall, before the gunfire. But police have not explained the connection between the groups or the point of dispute.

A GofundMe has been setup to help with funeral arrangements:
