Prosecutors Narrow Edina Case as Chicago and Milwaukee Pursue Separate Shooting Suspects

The move highlights prosecutors’ focus on evidence in fast-moving shooting cases.

Overview

  • Hennepin County prosecutors said there is not enough evidence to charge three people first arrested in the Southdale-area Edina killing, and the suspected shooter remains in custody as that case gets priority review.
  • Chicago police released surveillance video and Crime Stoppers offered a reward in the Little Village shooting that killed vendor Antonio “Coco” Padilla and wounded three women, and no arrests have been reported.
  • The Edina gunfire struck outside a transitional housing complex across from Southdale Mall, and authorities identified the man who died as 22-year-old John Stroud.
  • In a separate Chicago case, police arrested 27-year-old Isathia Perez and a judge ordered her detained on charges tied to the April 12 Irving Park shooting that injured three men.
  • Milwaukee investigators arrested three teens in the ‘414 Day’ robbery killing of David Krause and are seeking a fourth suspect, while probing other shootings including a fatal double shooting near 98th and Carmen and a separate gas-station homicide near 20th and Burleigh.
