A 24-year-old Richfield man was charged in U.S. District Court with arson Friday for allegedly breaking into the Target headquarters building in downtown Minneapolis and starting a fire in the mailroom.
The incident occurred at 10:55 p.m. on Aug. 26 during a night of civil unrest after the suspect in a downtown homicide committed suicide and a false rumor circulated that he had been shot and killed by police.
Shador Tommie Cortez Jackson, who was charged the arson, made an initial appearance Friday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Tony Leung in Minneapolis and was ordered detained pending a formal detention and preliminary hearing next Wednesday.
U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald issued a news release saying that investigators had reviewed Target surveillance video showing Jackson using a construction sign to break through one of the glass doors at the its headquarters at 1000 Nicollet Mall.
Additional video inside the store shows Jackson entering the Target mailroom and setting a fire on a counter, according to a criminal complaint drawn up by Sara Thomas, a special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
