Man arrested in September shooting death of 12-year-old Minneapolis boy

Police have arrested an 18-year-old who is already charged in the death of a 12-year-old in Minneapolis two months ago.

Minneapolis Police said Monday that Jeremiah Marquise Grady was arrested and booked into Hennepin County Jail. He’s charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of London Michael Bean and the attempted murder of a second juvenile.

Police had sought public help in locating Grady back in September. The department thanked Rev. Jerry McAfee and other community partners who worked with Grady’s mother to bring about his arrest.

Officers were called to a reported shooting near North Aldrich and Eighth avenues at about 3:40 p.m. on Sept. 8. There, they found Bean and provided immediate aid before the boy was taken to a hospital, where he died a short time later.

Police said early indications were a neighborhood dispute turned violent and gunshots were fired.

Investigators learned that Grady is the older brother of the boy Bean had gotten into a fight with, an affidavit states.

A judge has set Grady’s bail at $500,000. His first court appearance has yet to be scheduled.
