Minneapolis violence prevention workers indicted after March BBQ shooting
The Brief Two workers with the "21 Days of Peace" violence prevention group are now facing gun charges themselves. Kashmir McReynolds, 35, is accused of aiding and abetting possession of ammo/firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. Alvin Watkins Jr., 50, is charged with possession of ammo/firearm after being convicted of a violent crime and reckless discharge of a firearm. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Two members of a Minneapolis violence prevention organization, run by Rev. Jerry McAfee and tasked with deescalating conflicts throughout the city, have been federally indicted on weapons charges after one of them was shot following a cookout in March. What we know According to an indictment filed on June 5, 2025, Kashmir McReynolds and Alvin Watkins Jr., "recklessly fired approximately 43 bullets into the dark in a residential neighborhood in north Minneapolis" on March documents say that McReynolds fired one gun, while Watkins fired another, despite a core tenant of the group being they are supposed to remain unarmed in their efforts. Watkins was also prohibited from possessing a firearm due to prior felony convictions. At around 9:36 p.m. on March 10, McReynolds, Watkins and other community members were attending a BBQ near 36th Street and Penn Avenue North when 30 bullets were shot in their direction – one hitting McReynolds in the neck and torso. Although he did not see who fired the shots, court documents allege that McReynolds then retaliated by shooting in the general direction they came from. Following the incident, McReynolds, 35, was charged with aiding and abetting possession of ammo/firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. Alvin Watkins Jr., 50, was charged with possession of ammo/firearm after being convicted of a violent crime and reckless discharge of a firearm. The backstory 21 Days for Peace was contracted by Minneapolis for approximately $1.5 million per year for fiscal 2023 and 2024 for "social equity building and community engagement services." However, the approval of violence interrupter groups by the Minneapolis City Council has come under scrutiny in recent months by those questioning exactly what they do, and by what metrics they are held accountable for receiving the money that is doled out to them.

False rumors of Minneapolis ICE raid spark protest as police decry 'irresponsible' info from elected officials
A chaotic protest in Minneapolis during which federal agents were seen getting physical with demonstrators unfolded as elected officials posted "highly irresponsible" information online suggesting a criminal search warrant was an ICE operation, police say. Tense moments were captured on video Tuesday as federal agents and the public clashed in the streets of the major city, with Minnesota State Sen. Omar Fateh claiming on Facebook, "On scene are DHS, ICE, FBI, Sheriffs, and MPD" in what he described as "blatant fascism on display." In a follow-up post, Fateh said, "While the Mayor has told us ICE is not welcome in our city, what residents saw was their deployment assisted by his MPD." However, the federal operation focusing on a Mexican restaurant actually "was related to a criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering and was not related to immigration enforcement" and "No arrests were made," according to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. "The information that came out on social media from elected officials was highly irresponsible," Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt said Wednesday. "There were ways for them to have accurate information and instead of getting accurate information, being impulsive and putting out things that could potentially incite riots is senseless." "Yesterday's incident was a criminal investigation," she added. "So putting out the rhetoric that that was a raid, it was not a raid. Putting out the rhetoric that it was an immigration enforcement, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office does not participate in immigration enforcement. Elected officials have a responsibility to the constituents to put out accurate information. They don't have to agree with it, but do not mislead the public, causing more harm to our communities." Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara added, "Ultimately, you can say what you want and point fingers and blame people for different things, how it happened, whether they should or shouldn't have or whatever, but the bottom line is if a tragedy happened at Lake and Bloom yesterday, it doesn't matter who is at fault. The community loses. The feds lose. We all lose, and we are left behind. "The feds can leave, we are left behind to deal with the consequences," O'Hara continued. "And what I saw yesterday as they were trying to leave, aside from just the verbal things that were being said, but with things being thrown at them — in some cases heavily-armed federal agents getting into hand-to-hand situations with people who are protesting — is not good." Video clips showed protesters screaming at the federal agents. In one scene, a masked man wearing an ATF Police uniform tossed a demonstrator to the ground after he tried to get in front of a van that was leaving the area. "Trump has created an environment of understandable fear, created an atmosphere where distrust isn't just a norm. In fact, sometimes it's appropriate," Frey told reporters Thursday while speaking alongside Witt and O'Hara. In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, Jamie Holt, the ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge for St. Paul, said, "Federal investigators conducted a groundbreaking criminal operation today — Minnesota's first under the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) umbrella — marking a new chapter in how we confront complex, multidimensional threats. "From drug smuggling to criminal labor trafficking, this operation showcases the breadth of our collective missions and the strength of a united front," the statement added, noting that "This HSI led investigation wouldn't have been possible without the extraordinary collaboration of our state partners and federal HSTF partners." Witt told reporters on Wednesday, "It is not okay for people to obstruct law enforcement when we are trying to obtain evidence." "It's not okay to try to prevent them from leaving. It is not okay," she added. "It did not look good — I get that — and we will deal with some of the things that happened that even I don't agree with, which is why I have an appointment already set up with some of our federal leaders. That could have been done better."
