A Night of Terror in Minneapolis!

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – A Minnesota man has admitted his role in a terrifying series of home invasions that left Minneapolis residents in fear. On Wednesday, Kamau Evans, age 32 from Mankato, pled guilty in U.S. District Court to possession of a firearm as a felon after a violent rampage that ended in a standoff with police.

Breaking and Entering: A Family’s Nightmare

On January 14, chaos erupted when Evans broke into an apartment in south Minneapolis.

A woman and her two children barely escaped after Evans smashed a window and crawled into their bedroom. The family fled in terror, leaving their home behind.

Hostage Situation in North Minneapolis

But Evans wasn’t done. He then forced his way into a second home in north Minneapolis, shattering a sliding glass door.

Inside, he assaulted several residents, including an elderly woman and a young child, whom he held hostage, threatening their lives.

Police Confrontation: Shots Fired

Minneapolis Police responded swiftly, pulling one of the victims from the house. As officers advanced behind a ballistic shield, Evans fired at them from the top of a stairwell. The situation escalated rapidly, with bullets flying in the home.

Dramatic Escape and Capture

In a desperate attempt to evade capture, Evans leapt from a bathroom window and ran through the backyard. His escape was short-lived.

Police apprehended him near the garage, where they also found a SCCY model CPX-1 9mm semiautomatic pistol.

Brutal Assaults and Injuries

Evans’s violent spree didn’t stop at gunfire. He attempted to shoot several victims and brutally pistol-whipped one, leaving her needing seven staples in her head. The extent of his rampage left the community in shock.
