Minneapolis, Minnesota criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Firearms Violations Following a String of Shootings
Violent Minneapolis Felon Sentenced to 19 Years in Prison for Firearms Violations Following a String of Shootings

A Minneapolis man has been sentenced to 235 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for illegal possession of ammunition after engaging in multiple shootings, announced U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger.

On September 23, 2021, law enforcement received a report of a shooting near 16th Avenue and Lake Street East in Minneapolis. When officers arrived, they identified a victim who was shot in the leg by Saladean Walker Salean, 52. Officers recovered several discharged cartridge casings that came from the gun Salean used to shoot the victim. Between September 4, 2021, and September 29, 2021, Salean engaged in six other assaults and shootings, one resulting in death.

Because Salean has multiple prior felony convictions, including assault and illegal possession of firearms, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.

On February 2, 2024, Salean pleaded guilty to possession of ammunition as an armed career criminal. He was sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court by Judge Nancy E. Brasel.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Minneapolis Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas M. Hollenhorst prosecuted the case.
