London Bean, 12, was a sixth-grader at Sojourner Truth Academy in Minneapolis. He was shot and killed recently after a dispute with another child.

Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for a teenager who they suspect of fatally shooting 12-year-old London Bean at a north Minneapolis apartment complex last week.

Jeremiah Marquise Grady, 18, of Minneapolis was charged with second-degree murder in the Sept. 8 killing of Bean outside Grady's apartment building at N. 8th and Aldrich avenues. He was charged by warrant, because police said his whereabouts were unknown as of Thursday morning.

Bean was shot after getting into a fight with another boy, believed to be Grady's younger brother, while several adults looked on. As the fight continued, witnesses told police that the suspect came around from the back of the building and pointed a gun at everyone, yelling, "Yeah! Wassup!" The gunman was said to be wearing a black ski mask and dressed in all black.
