Overview
- Parker, 48, was sentenced Friday to 364 days in jail with a 50‑month prison term stayed for five years after pleading guilty to aiding an offender and admitting she lied to police.
- Charging records say Parker, the mother of organizer Erick Haynes, was at a Brooklyn Center hotel where police later found the gun and heard talk about hiding it after a teen told her he shot McKeever.
- The Attorney General’s Office said this completes the adult prosecutions: Haynes received life for first‑degree murder, Foday Kamara got just under 11 years, Eriana Haynes received 41 months, and Tavion James got 364 days with a 42‑month term stayed.
- Gov. Tim Walz reassigned the case to Attorney General Keith Ellison after the family opposed Hennepin County plea offers for the teens that stressed rehabilitation, a rare move that Mary Moriarty criticized as undemocratic.
- In November 2022, two teens kicked in the apartment door to target McKeever’s boyfriend, who escaped, while McKeever, 23, was fatally shot, leaving a young daughter whom prosecutors cited in calls for accountability.
