BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) - The second gunman in the Mall of America shooting that killed 19-year-old Johntae Hudson has been sentenced for his role in the fatal shooting that took place just before Christmas in 2022.

Lavon Longstreet, 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and second-degree assault for the fatal shooting that occurred on Dec. 23, 2022, at Nordstrom at the Mall of America. Two groups were fighting just before 8 p.m. in the store where Hudson was later found with multiple gunshot wounds.

Longstreet was sentenced on Monday to 367 months, just over 30 years, for second-degree murder and three years for second-degree assault.

Both Longstreet and TaeShawn Adams-Wright received the same sentences, to be served concurrently. Adams-Wright was sentenced May 30.
