Man facing 34-year term for killing outside after-hours party near Loring Park
A Minneapolis man is looking at a sentence topping 34 years after admitting he fatally shot a Rochester man outside an after-hours party near Loring Park more than two years ago.
Mayan Deng Mayan, 27, agreed on Monday in Hennepin County District Court to plead guilty to second-degree intentional murder in connection with the shooting of Birahim B. Gildersleve, 28, outside the Fade Barber Lounge, on Sept. 18, 2022.
With credit for time in jail since his arrest, Mayan is expected to serve the first 22 years of his 34½-year term in prison and the balance on supervised release. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 28.
As part of the plea agreement between the defense and the prosecution, a first-degree murder count will be dismissed.
In late February 2023, a man was charged with being Mayan’s getaway driver. Jal D. Wal, 26, of Apple Valley, also has pleaded guilty. He’s also scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 28. Public court records do not show what terms may have been reached for Wal’s plea.
The criminal complaints against both men did not address a motive for the shooting. Police Sgt. Garrett Parten said in a statement that day that the killing followed “a verbal altercation.”
According to the complaints:
Police were dispatched about 5:20 a.m. to the intersection of Harmon Place and Maple Street, where they saw Gildersleve with gunshot wounds to his right leg and chest. Emergency responders took him to HCMC, where he was pronounced dead 40 minutes later.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump ”resorted to crimes” in a failed bid to cling to power after losing the 2020 election, federal prosecutors said in a newly unsealed court filing that argues that the former president is not entitled to immunity from prosecution.
The filing was unsealed Wednesday. It was submitted by special counsel Jack Smith’s team following a Supreme Court opinion that conferred broad immunity on former presidents and narrowed the scope of the prosecution.
From March 4, 2016, through June 25, 2020, Hu routinely directed CAH employees to bill for one hour of acupuncture services, even though sessions lasted no longer than 30 to 45 minutes, with many ending after 15 minutes.
The former employees said that when they challenged Hu about this, she rebuffed them and said to continue documenting services as one hour. Some former employees said they quit over the billing practices.
Investigators also found that the clinics billed for months — and on one occasion years — after clients stopped receiving services at the clinics.
CAH also billed for acupuncture services provided in a client’s home without the required prior authorization for a home visit, used acupuncture billing codes to bill for services that were not covered acupuncture services, and used the credentials of another acupuncturist to bill for services provided to clients with a particular insurance company after the company excluded CAH from its network.
Hu also regularly signed, and directed others to sign, verifications for language interpreter services that did not happen, the investigation found.
“When I get into office, we are not raising taxes, we are going to tighten the belt,” Kohler said.
Anderson, who is 43, said during the campaign he is highlighting his work on local infrastructure, expanding broadband access and the county’s push to end veteran homelessness. He added that county leaders work hard to make the most of the taxes they collect to deliver a “good quality of life.”
“Hennepin County has been doing some incredible things despite some incredibly challenging times,” Anderson said.
Kohler said he thought he would have more impact serving at the local level. He previously ran unsuccessfully for state Senate to represent District 38 in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center.
