EXPOSED: Document reveals extensive list of ‘East African’ violent crimes following Sheriff Fletcher commentsAlpha News By Crime Watch MN -July 9, 2026
"We cannot afford to deny that there's a problem. We can't be in denial because if we are, we delay getting going and getting a start to help these kids," said Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher. Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher is doubling down on his assertion that Somali gang violence has reached a tipping point in the Twin Cities, and he’s imploring local leaders to pay attention and get involved before it gets worse.
In a “Live on Patrol” video posted Monday, Sheriff Fletcher and deputies from his office said it was time to publicly address the violence following several shootings and a murder over the July 4 weekend, which the sheriff said were connected to ongoing Somali gang violence.
The weekend violence was just the latest in what Fletcher said has added up to 14 murders and over 100 shootings in just the last couple of years connected to Somali gang violence, often at high-profile events like graduations and the State Fair.
Deputy Ben Seidl, who is considered a gang expert and focuses mostly on Somali gang crime, called the epidemic of violence “out of control.”
