Man charged with hanging out van window, fatally shooting a fleeing teenage driver in Minneapolis

A 19-year-old man already implicated in the shooting death of a teenager months ago in Fargo was charged Wednesday with unleashing gunfire from a van in a Minneapolis neighborhood and killing a teenager who was trying to outrace his pursuers.

Fabian Scott, of Minneapolis, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with three counts of second-degree murder in connection with the Jan. 13 shooting of Dwayne Scott Dzubay-Percy, 15, of Minneapolis. A warrant has been issued for his arrest and return from North Dakota to Minneapolis to answer the charges. Court records do not list an attorney for him.

Scott is currently in the Cass County jail and charged with murder stemming from a plot to rob a suspected drug dealer in May that ended with Scott’s accomplice, 16-year-old James Moore, being shot by the would-be robbery victim.

The charges involving Dzubay-Percy’s death noted that he “was the intended target, and the shooting was related to a gang and/or territory dispute.”

Dzubay-Percy was a freshman at Patrick Henry High School and was on the “A” honor roll, according to his online obituary.

“He held many trophies for football and basketball,” the obituary continued. “Dwayne took pride in his appearance and enjoyed looking his best! He was a member of Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and was a former grass dancer.”

According to the criminal complaint:

ShotSpotter alerted police to rounds of gunfire near the 3800 block of N. Dupont Avenue. Moments later, a stolen Kia Soul crashed into a snowbank two blocks north on Dupont, with a fatally wounded Dzubay-Percy behind the wheel.

A witness told police that she saw the Kia being chased by a speeding van with five occupants. The witness saw a man — later identified as Scott — hanging out of the van’s window behind the driver and shooting at the Kia.

Others in the van identified Scott as the shooter. Questioned by investigators while in custody in North Dakota, Scott admitted to shooting at the Kia.

The van’s driver, 19-year-old Shawn K. Goodloe, of Brooklyn Park, has been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder. He remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.

Surveillance video revealed that both vehicles left a nearby gas station, with the van giving chase. Video from a park helped police determine that Goodloe was driving the van, which belonged to his aunt. Police went to his home and arrested him there.

Prosecutors file sealed brief detailing allegations against Trump in election interference case

In their new indictment, Smith’s team ditched certain allegations related to Trump’s interactions with the Justice Department but left the bulk of the case intact, arguing that the remaining acts — including Trump’s hectoring of his vice president, Mike Pence, to refuse to certify the counting of electoral votes — do not deserve immunity protections.

Chutkan is now responsible for deciding which acts in the indictment, including allegations that Trump participated in a scheme to enlist fake electors in battleground states he lost, are official acts and therefore immune from prosecution and which are private acts.

She has acknowledged that her decisions are likely to be subject to additional appeals to the Supreme Court.

Kamala Harris campaigns in La Crosse, Wis. as election nears

“I honestly think he used to understand how tariffs work,” Cuban said. “Back in the 90s and early 2000s, he was a little bit coherent when he talked about trade policy and he actually made a little bit of sense. But I don’t know what happened to him.”

Speaking in Pittsburgh on Thursday, Trump’s running mate, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance, pushed back against the Harris campaign’s claims that tariffs would hurt the economy. Vance described the tariffs as a way of discouraging imports and boosting American manufacturing.

“If you are a business, and you rely on foreign slave labor at $3 a day, the only way to rebuild American manufacturing is to say, if you want to bring that product made by slave labor back into the United States of America, you’re going to pay a big fat tariff before you get it back into our country,” Vance said.

Back in Wisconsin, Amara Marshell, freshman at UW-La Crosse, said she showed up to support Harris because she is concerned about what a second Trump presidency could mean for reproductive rights. Like her friend, sophomore Avery Black, Marshell is also excited about the possibility of electing the nation’s first female president.

“Women deserve to have power over their own bodies,” Marshell said. “We shouldn’t have to not be able to get an abortion just because of a president.”

Mary Holman, an 80-year-old retiree from Fort Atkinson, Wis., said she hasn’t been to a rally since former President Barack Obama’s first campaign in 2008. But Holman said she decided to get off the sidelines this cycle because she views the election as a fight to preserve democracy.
