Two youths carjacked Council Member Jamal Osman near Lake Street; police made arrests after a second carjacking involving the same suspects, officials said.
- On Monday, Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman was carjacked near Lake Street and Portland Avenue around 8 p.m. while on a phone call with his sister, saying, `They opened my passenger door. Unfortunately it was open because I was ready to get out.'
- The apparent spree began when police say a mother and child were robbed of a Subaru Outback near Minneapolis North Side after keys were left inside.
- Police say two juveniles, ages 15 and 16, stole Osman's Volkswagen and two other vehicles over several hours, leading to pursuits where cars hit uninvolved vehicles and one crashed into a fire hydrant before arrests.
- O'Hara said two adults were arrested after police used license plate readers and surveillance, and the case will be presented to the U.S. Attorney.
- Chief Brian O'Hara noted juvenile violence remains troubling despite overall declines, with Minneapolis having 279 carjackings last year and 153 in 2025, while Osman urged early mentoring in schools.
