Eden Prairie Homecoming Shooting Suspect Released on Bond Ahead of Monday Court Appearance
Court records show the 18-year-old suspect posted a $100,000 bond, and his first appearance is set for 1:30 p.m. Monday.
- Adam Abdihakeem Adam, 18, charged in the October 2 Eden Prairie High School homecoming shooting, was released Saturday evening after posting a $10,000 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in Hennepin County Court on Monday afternoon.
- Surveillance video showed two cars entering the parking lot on October 2 before a fight involving 10 people erupted, leading investigators to track Adam's phone and recover clothing matching the shooter's attire during a search of his St. Louis Park home.
- Officers from multiple agencies arrested Adam without incident on October 8 near Highway 55 and Penn Avenue in Minneapolis after police alleged he shot two teenagers during the homecoming game, prompting stadium evacuation.
- Adam's release drew criticism from President Donald Trump's Rapid Response account, while Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michele Tafoya warned last week that Minnesotans feel under threat from what officials describe as Somali gang violence.
- Eden Prairie Police Chief Matt Sackett stated the investigation remains active with potential for further charges, while regional public safety agencies are sharing intelligence to prevent future shootings under coordination of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
