Charges: Teen lured victim, filmed fatal assault in Minneapolis
A teenager has been charged with murder in connection to an assault in Minneapolis earlier this year.
Qurionna Kanera Young, 17, is charged with second-degree unintentional murder in the death of 19-year-old Jaegger David in March. Last week, Young was ordered to stand trial as an adult.
Emmanuel Davis was already sentenced to 20 years in prison this summer in connection to David’s murder.
According to a criminal complaint, police were notified that a video of David being brutally assaulted was posted to his Facebook page.
Officers reviewed the video, called local hospitals and learned that David had been found unconscious in an apartment building along the 1300 block of Nicollet Avenue.
Surveillance video in the building showed David enter the apartment earlier that night with Young. The video posted on Facebook then allegedly showed Davis brutally assaulting David while a girl was heard commenting in the background.
After he was arrested, Davis told police he hired his girlfriend, Young, to lure David to the apartment. She then filmed the assault.
Prosecutors sought to have Young certified as an adult and the complaint adds that they’ll seek an upward sentencing departure if she’s convicted “due to the particular cruelty shown to (David) and his family.”
Young made her first court appearance Monday afternoon and had her bail set at $750,000 without conditions. Her next hearing is set for Nov. 2.
