Minnesota Woman Convicted of Disorderly Conduct in Racial Slur Case
A jury convicted her on one disorderly conduct count after a viral video drew millions of views and triggered protests and fundraising.
- On Thursday, July 23, 2026, an Olmsted County jury convicted Shiloh Hendrix of disorderly conduct following a four-day trial regarding a viral incident involving racial slurs against a child.
- The incident stems from an April 28, 2025, altercation at Roy Sutherland Playground in Soldiers Field Memorial Park where Hendrix allegedly chased an 8-year-old Black autistic child and used racial slurs captured on video.
- District Court Judge Christa M. Daily sentenced Hendrix to one year of probation, 200 hours of community service, and a $1,000 fine, with a 90-day jail term to be stayed if she complies with probation terms.
- Calling the verdict a "mixed result," Rochester NAACP President Wale Elegbede criticized the outcome, while defense attorney Brian Karalus labeled the trial a "fraud" and a "circus," intending to appeal.
- City of Rochester officials stated on Friday they respect the judicial process and remain committed to supporting community trust, acknowledging the "significant attention and emotion" surrounding the case and its lasting impacts.
