Overview
- On May 15, Amos Ferrier confronted people rifling his parked pickup outside Rick’s Coffee Bar and was struck and thrown from a fleeing Chevrolet, suffering head and internal injuries that left him dead two days later.
- Hennepin County prosecutors filed charges on May 22 against Janaya Frost and Jordan Frost for aiding an offender and added an aiding-to-avoid-arrest charge for Janaya.
- Court documents say surveillance footage and cellphone records link the Frosts to the scene, and witnesses report the stolen backpack’s contents were dumped as the Chevrolet drove several blocks.
- Police impounded the Chevrolet, which is registered to an associate of Janaya Frost, and investigators say they are still working to confirm and identify the vehicle’s driver before filing charges.
- Ferrier was a 15-year Army medic and internship director at Every Third Saturday and his death has prompted local mourning and renewed calls for a thorough prosecution and accountability.
