A Minneapolis teenager was sentenced Thursday to more than 30 years for a fatal shooting that shut down the Mall of America during the holiday shopping rush in 2022. Taeshawn Adams-Wright, 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in March in the killing of 19-year-old Johntae Hudson, of Minneapolis. He is the first of four defendants to be sentenced. The other alleged shooter, 19-year-old Lavon Longstreet, is due to go on trial next week. Two juveniles are facing lesser charges.
Adams-Wright spoke briefly at his sentencing hearing. “I want to apologize for bringing pain and suffering to the victim’s family,” Adams-Wright said. “I am truly apologetic for my actions.” But Judge Paul Scoggin rejected his request for a lenient sentence and admonished him for his previous claims of self-defense. “You and several others decided to hunt someone down and execute them,” Scoggin said. “We’ve all seen that tape, and there can be no other definition of what happened that day.
