The man accused of the shooting death of what appears to be a fellow street gang member in south Minneapolis is now facing charges in Hennepin County.
The shooting happened at the intersection of 38th and Chicago, now known by many as George Floyd Square.
It's the place where Floyd died in police custody last May, sparking demonstrations and unrest globally.
Shantaello Christianson is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree riot causing death and prohibited person in possession of a firearm in the killing of 30-year-old Imaz Wright of Minneapolis.
Authorities say Wright was standing in front of Cup Foods on the evening of March 6 when Christianson allegedly drove up in a vehicle and they began arguing.
The complaint says the 31-year-old Christianson shot Wright multiple times before driving off.
Investigators say Christianson and Wright are both members of the Rolling 30's Bloods gang but were on opposite sides of an internal gang dispute.
