Another Murder in Minneapolis

The article that I chose to read this week was in the Star Tribune about and 18 year old who gunned down outside of a Minneapolis home. The victim was identified as Jesse Mickelson, a local in south Minneapolis. When the police were called they found him already dead in an alley. There was no known reason for the shooting, nothing relating to gang history or anything. Just this year there have been thirty murders in Minneapolis alone. The reason I chose to write about this article is because I think all of the violence going on in Minneapolis is ridicules, the constant loss of life for no apparent reason. I think that Jesse’s death should be a wake up call for our government to step in and really up the police force around the area or to try to create more recreational activities for the younger kids of the future to grow up in a safer environment with out the worry’s of being murdered like Jesse.
