Minneapolis police say another person has died after a shooting in the city earlier this week, bringing the death toll from the singular shooting incident to four.

Three victims who were pronounced dead at the shooting scene on Tuesday were identified Friday by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office as 17-year-old Joseph Goodwin, 27-year-old Evan Denny and 20-year-old Merelle White.

Police announced early Friday morning that a fourth victim had died from his injuries. He was identified as a 28-year-old man who died at an area hospital and was identified by family as Leras Rainey, which was confirmed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner on Sunday.

Police learned of the man’s death shortly after officers arrested a man identified as 34-year-old James Duane Ortley. As reported by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, he was arrested around 3:30 p.m. Thursday on the 1600 block of South Fourth Street by members of an FBI SWAT team and the U.S. Marshals North Star Fugitive Task Force.

According to a criminal complaint filed earlier this week, Ortley has been formally charged with three counts of second-degree murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of illegal firearm possession. However, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office says charges will be amended to add a fourth second-degree murder charge.

“This was a shocking spree of violence that tore at the fabric of our community. Families have lost loved ones, and our neighbors will carry the scars of this violence, emotionally and physically, for the rest of their lives,” said Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. “I am grateful to the MPD investigators who worked tirelessly, in collaboration with our staff, to quicky bring this case against Mr. Ortley. We are committed to using every resource available to us to ensure that our community is protected from further violence.”

Records show Ortley has several prior felony convictions. Initially, he was scheduled to be in court at 1:30 p.m. Friday for his suspected involvement in Tuesday’s shooting. However, that hearing is now scheduled for Monday afternoon.

The complaint says police found all five victims from Tuesday’s shooting were shot in the head, and all were found either inside of, or just outside, a vehicle. While three of the five victims died at the scene, the two others were taken to hospitals for serious injuries, with one of the hospitalized victims dying on Thursday.

The complaint notes that Victim 5 was able to communicate despite having a serious gunshot wound to their face, and told police there was only one shooter. The shooter was identified by street names as “Baby J”, “Little J” and “Little James.”

Witnesses also spoke with police and identified the suspect as Ortley. Police say in October 2023, Ortley told police during an interview in a separate homicide investigation that his street name was “Baby James.”

The victim went on to tell police Ortley shot everyone inside of the vehicle while sitting inside it and then ran away.

Court documents go on to say Ortley, as well as some of his family members, are associated with a street gang called the Native Mob, which operates in the southern part of Minneapolis as well as other parts of Minnesota.

Family members of one of the victims told police that all five victims were at a family friend’s home in south Minneapolis that evening but left around 9:30 p.m., and had planned to pick up Ortley, according to the complaint. The document adds Ortley was a close family friend to the victims.

In addition, two of the other victims who were killed as part of the five shootings throughout Minneapolis in a 24-hour period were also identified by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.

Tiago Antonio Gilbert, 34, was identified as the victim in the shooting on the 2100 block of 17th Avenue South at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, and Derrick Lamont Ewing, 51, was identified as the victim in the shooting on the 3000 block of 15th Avenue South at around 8:30 p.m.

It is unknown at this time if those shootings are connected to the shooting for which Ortley was charged.
