Left: Dominic Burris, Right: Cyrell Boyd
For the first time ever, we have a picture of the main suspect, Dominic Burris. He was transferred to Hennepin County adult jail last month, and his mugshot was taken. No other media has published his picture before, and no other media has published a picture of Cyrell Boyd before except for us.
Burris and his co-defendant Cyrell Boyd were originally described on the police scanner as appearing Latino. They were at large for eight months, but no media published their description.
The shooting occurred at a “punk rock concert venue” called “Nudieland” which was located in the backyard of a home in a residential neighborhood. Many of the bands that performed there all have ties to Antifa. The neighborhood is 83% non-White, while the people who attended the shows were predominantly White. The White anti-racist movement has a long history of setting up makeshift punk rock “venues” in the middle of non-White residential neighborhoods.
While the perps were described to police as appearing Latino, they may be American Indians. The Hennepin County jail no longer classifies people by race. The neighborhood was once heavily American Indian, but more recently, this population is being replaced by Latino and African immigrants. Nudieland is within walking distance from an American Indian church and American Indian women’s shelter. There is also an American Indian youth center nearby.
Defense lawyers for Burris and Boyd say the pair, who were both 17 at the time, went up to the makeshift bar at Nudieland. A man refused to give them any beer, which made them angry. So they came back later and began harassing people and flashing guns. Then they briefly left again but returned and opened fire. Boyd has confessed to firing one shot but alleges that he only fired into the air.
Seven people were hit with bullets, and anti-racism activist Nick “August” Golden was killed. He went by August in honor of a famous Marxist cop killing terrorist who was executed by the state of Illinois in 1887.
Antifa has conducted an aggressive social media campaign to claim that the shooting was an anti-LGBTQ attack carried out by “cis-gendered males.” All while censoring information about the actual suspects. Antifa accounts on Twitter have chastised people who strayed from this narrative or tried to get more details.
Now, survivors are in shock as Cyrell Boyd has been given a ZERO PRISON TIME plea deal. Boyd, who is now 18, will be transferred to the Red Wing residential facility for troubled youth and given free job training. He will be released when he turns 21.
Radical Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, widely considered an extreme soft-on-crime radical, is defending the plea deal. She claims that obtaining “ironclad” evidence against Dominic Burris from Boyd made the plea deal necessary.
