Maleek Conley sentenced to life in prison without parole

Maleek Jabril Conley, 27, was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole after a Hennepin County jury returned guilty verdicts against him earlier this spring.

Mr. Conley was convicted of the following counts:

Two counts of premeditated first-degree murder
Two counts of intentional second-degree murder
One count of attempted premeditated first-degree murder
One count of attempted intentional second-degree murder
One count of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon

Due to the first-degree murder convictions, Mr. Conley received the mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.

“My thoughts are with the loved ones of the people killed, as well as with those who survived this shooting,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “Mr. Conley fired at the victims at close range in a tobacco shop, killing two people and injuring two others. We are holding Mr. Conley accountable for his actions and ensuring that he is not able to perpetrate any future violence in our community.”

Case Number: 27-CR-23-26251
