Recent Crime Headlines Show Strong Pattern of Crime Happening To Criminals
These crime news stories have been covered plenty of other places, these aren't breaking news. However, I can't help but notice that crime seems to mostly happen to those involved in a criminal lifestyle. There doesn't seem to be a lot of recent high profile crime that seems to be random. Even the recent U of M sexual assaults seem to be tied to frat parties and alcohol consumption. Feel free to use the comments section to add or counter these recent crimes headlines.
Drunk Drivers Gone Wild:
This past Saturday morning brought us a bit of a bizarre news story. I was at the Mill City Farmer's Market where I noticed a very familiar local political celebrity, John Delmonico, president of the Police Officer's Federation of Minneapolis. I approached and said hello, thanked him for his service, and chatted a minute. He asked where I lived in the 4th and pulled out his hand held device to read me the summary. One dead after car drove into a north Minneapolis house. At 7am, getting ready to leave the house, I could hear the siren chaos around me, so I knew something bad had happened, I just didn't know what. Apparently a group of people were congregated in front of a house and something went terribly wrong. The suspected driver was apprehended and charged with vehicular homicide as well as DWI. Another northside blog, North by Northside, has a more detailed write up examining the lifestyle of the alleged drunk driver and in the comments section someone added some details of the history of the man that was killed.
Possible Revenge Killing For 2002 Murder:
Timothy Wilson was shot in the eye on September 25 and died almost a week later. He was recently released from prison for a 2002 manslaughter conviction in which he allegedly shot a drug customer for allegedly using counterfeit bills to purchase the drugs. Wilson's family members are suspecting that the close range shooting in his eye is possibly revenge for the 2002 killing. Apparently previous threats to Wilson's life had been made, even while he was serving his prison sentence.
ShotSpotter Technology Assists in Case with no Other Evidence:
Christopher De Ronde was killed in the middle of the day near 30th and Colfax. Homicide detectives had very little or no evidence to help them, except the shotspotter technology which uses microphones and cameras to record the street scenes near detected gunfire. Two people have been charged with this murder and both of them have quite the criminal history for 20somethings including:

Neeley was shot outside a teen party; the type of party which has proven time and time again to be the most dangerous place for a teenager to be in Minneapolis. Neeley herself is alleged to have been a member of a girl gang; the kind which pride themselves on being the prettiest ladies available to the male gang members and trying to beat the living daylights out of rival girl gangs. Neeley was walking in close proximity to a BTG gang member, a rival of the Tre Tre Crips gang, and she caught a stray bullet.

4TH PRECINCT HIGHLIGHTS *with bonus abbreviations list*
(Note: this post is a catch up and these are not the most recent highlights)
Thanks to blog reader Evan who answered my request for a copy. Evan pointed us to another website, a gun forum, that looks to be posting the highlights, counter-affectionately referred to by me as the 'lowlights'. I'm unsure if Evan is the forum user who is posting them each week, or if he is just a reader of both this crime watch blog and the gun forum, but either way, Evan is also a blogger himself. Thanks again!

Thanks to blog reader Evan who answered my request for a copy. Evan pointed us to another website, a gun forum, that looks to be posting the highlights, counter-affectionately referred to by me as the 'lowlights'. I'm unsure if Evan is the forum user who is posting them each week, or if he is just a reader of both this crime watch blog and the gun forum, but either way, Evan is also a blogger himself. Thanks again!

Do you have a copy of the highlights Week 656?
Does anybody out there have a copy of the highlights from week 656? We are missing that one and can't get a copy yet. So, if it's sitting in your inbox archive, forward to me at goodponyz at yahoo dot com. It would be dated around August 22 to 25th, approximately.
You may wonder why? Why does it matter and why do we want to post each week of the highlights, or as some say, the low lights. A few reasons that are my own personal reasons include: 1) It makes them searchable by internet search engines. Someone may be running a search for a name that comes up in the highlights, for a variety of reasons. 2) See what has gone on around your area. You may not have known about your neighbor who experienced something unfortunate, and you may be able to reach out to them and help. Or perhaps something similar happened to you and now to your neighbor and you can help put pieces of the puzzle together. 3) Often times taking a look at northside crime statistics show that it's a very small portion of "random" crime occurring, and much more instances that crime is happening to the people who are already involved in crime. This is important to continue to document that, so that we can all help change the perceptions that have been created about our northside community.
So, those are just a few reasons why I see it as beneficial to post the weekly 4th precinct highlights (lowlights!).

Revival of the Crime Watch Blog
If you're a reader of this Minneapolis Crime Watch blog, you already know it's been dormant for a few months. That thing called Life has happened to the few contributors and got in the way. A while ago Margaret had contacted a couple of northsider bloggers, including myself, and asked if we were interested in helping to keep the crime watch blog going, at least at a minimum. I was unable to help at that point in time, but recently realized I missed having the 4th precinct highlights available to internet search engines and realized that since I already get the highlights emailed to me each week, I could post them up on this blog and at least have that content out there for the google bots to feast on. Margaret is not gone, she's just busy, and hopefully we'll hear from her in comments and maybe a few postings here and there. But she's around, she hasn't left us all together.
So here I am, contributing to the Minneapolis Crime Watch blog, for an unknown amount of time and an unknown amount of contributions. Let me tell you a little bit about me. My name is Megan, I am a northsider for 8 years now, not far from Penn and Broadway, so if you know the area, that's where I live. I try to stay in tune with who's who, what's what, what's going on where and when. I've been reading Margaret's version of the crime watch blog pretty much since she took over, I don't think I was aware of it before she was the main contributor.
I'll try to follow Margaret's style that's been established here, mostly because I don't see any reason why it needs to change too much. My main priority will be getting the weekly highlights up, and I'm not sure how much blogging I'll do about other crime stories, mostly due to that thing called Life, plus if you see my profile, you can see I've got a couple of other blogs that I help keep up.
I'd love to hear from you if you have a crime story that might be interesting to the crime watch readers, you can email me at goodponyz at yahoo.
