On July 5th 2020, at around 11 p.m., Minneapolis Police officers were dispatched to the 1600 block of 6th Street South on a report of a carjacking at gunpoint. Officers arrived and spoke with a woman who said she had just pulled into the parking lot when she was approached by two male suspects. One of them got into the passenger seat of the car and ordered her to leave the keys. The second male approached the driver's side. The woman jumped out of the driver's side door of the car and fell onto the ground, injuring her knee while the second suspect continued to approach her. The first suspect locked the doors of the car and drove off while the second male got into another waiting vehicle. Officers retrieved surveillance video of the parking lot confirming what the woman said about the incident.
The next day, Minneapolis Officers on the 3700 block of Oliver Avenue North observed the stolen vehicle traveling northbound on Oliver Avenue. There were five people in the car and the driver looked at the officers nervously as he drove past. Officers initiated a traffic stop by activating their overhead lights. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and sped up, hitting speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. He drove for a number of blocks, driving through stop signs and weaving around traffic and pedestrians. The stolen vehicle was damaged from hitting a curb at one point but continued driving until it struck a tree near the intersection of 41st Avenue North and Emerson Avenue North. Officers detained all occupants of the vehicle. The driver, identified as Terelle Franklin, attempted to jump into the back seat of the car and claim the driver had fled on foot. The front seat passenger was identified as Rashad Stewart. One of the rear seat passengers of the car confirmed that Franklin was the driver. Stewart was wearing the same sweatshirt at the time of his arrest that he was wearing on surveillance video while stealing the vehicle. In a post-Miranda interview, Stewart initially denied he was present during the car theft. Later, he admitted he was there and admitted taking the car. He denied having a gun at the time or saying anything to the victim before she jumped out of the car. In a post-Miranda interview, Franklin also initially denied being present when the car was stolen. He later admitted he and Stewart were present but claimed he didn't steal the car. Defendants are both suspects in numerous thefts of cars, robberies and burglaries and Stewart admitted to investigators they are both members of the notorious Minneapolis Highs street gang.
Under Minnesota law, the video only recently became public and was exclusively obtained by MN Crime under an open records request. The suspect in this case is expected to be released next month after being convicted of actions related to this incident.
