A woman is found shot to death outside a private motorcycle club of April 2, 2017. She was shot in the head and died later at North Memorial Medical Center Candice Latrice Hackett, a 45-year-old Black woman, was caught in sudden violence on Minneapolis’s North Side in the early hours of April 2, 2017, near the stretch of Upton Avenue North and Golden Valley Road—an area tied in reports to the Hell’s Lovers Motorcycle Club hangout on Golden Valley Road. What began as an argument and confrontation outside the gathering spot turned chaotic, with witnesses later describing a commotion followed by a rapid burst of gunfire.
Hackett was struck in the head and rushed to North Memorial Medical Center, her life hanging on while investigators tried to piece together what had spiraled so quickly. 
The night didn’t end with a single victim. Police and news reports described multiple people hurt in the same eruption: alongside Hackett’s critical gunshot wound, a man suffered a stabbing to the abdomen, and another man arrived at the hospital with a gunshot injury. The scene read like the aftermath of a brawl that had turned into a crossfire—confusing, loud, and dangerous enough that even people nearby hesitated to speak openly afterward, fearful of retaliation or being pulled into whatever dispute had ignited outside the club. 
Hackett survived only a few days. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner later documented that she died on April 5, 2017, from complications of a gunshot wound to the head, with the investigation handled alongside Minneapolis police. Her death landed like a second удар to a family already living inside grief: coverage at the time noted she was the mother of Chad Robertson, who had been fatally shot weeks earlier in Chicago by an Amtrak police officer—an earlier tragedy she had been publicly fighting to answer before her own life was taken by gunfire back home. 
In the immediate aftermath, law enforcement activity suggested investigators believed key answers were close by, even if they couldn’t yet prove who fired the fatal shot. Reports described at least two arrests tied to firearms that night: one man taken into custody at the scene with a gun and another, described as 21 years old, arrested after fleeing on a motorcycle, with a second handgun recovered. CBS Minnesota later identified two men—Kelvin McInnis, 31, and Andrew Tyus, 21—as being arrested on gun charges in connection with the incident. Yet despite the arrests and recovered weapons, reporting also emphasized that neither man was ultimately charged in the killing at that time, and authorities continued appealing to witnesses to come forward as the case remained under investigation.
