Hennepin County Attorney’s Office secures guilty verdicts in trial of Maleek Conley

A Hennepin County jury returned guilty verdicts against Maleek Jabril Conley, 27, for a fatal shooting in Minneapolis on Dec. 3, 2023.

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

“Mr. Conley involved himself in an altercation in a tobacco shop, firing at his victims at close range,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “This was an act of extreme violence that took the lives of two individuals and injured two others. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who were killed that day, and with those who survived. We are holding Mr. Conley accountable for his actions.”

Mr. Conley will receive the mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole due to the first-degree murder convictions. Sentencing is scheduled for June 2 at 1 p.m.
