Minneapolis, MNLocal News

Three individuals, including two teenagers with violent criminal histories, face charges for the fatal shooting of a drug dealer in Minneapolis. Jayce Nasir Cuff, 20, was charged with second-degree intentional murder for luring Davione Daunte Charles Collins, 27, to a riverfront apartment building on April 19. Following the shooting, Collins’ vehicle crashed into an underground garage door, and police discovered a significant amount of marijuana in the car. The County Attorney’s Office aims to move the cases of the two teens, Darnail Arnez LaBrec, 17, and Cassius Duane Hodrick, 16, to adult court. Cuff and LaBrec's histories include armed robberies, with Cuff previously pleading guilty to charges involving violence against a cashier.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara emphasized the serious nature of the attack, labeling it a "targeted attack" that disregarded public safety. Surveillance video confirmed the involvement of all three suspects during the incident. As the case proceeds, authorities are focused on holding the defendants accountable for their actions.
