Hoang Murphy, CEO, on Drivetime with DeRusha
Hoang Murphy, CEO, spoke with Jason DeRusha on WCCO Radio’s Drivetime with DeRusha about why we sought a restorative outcome in the criminal case following the attack on our St. Anne’s Place Shelter that occurred in 2024.
Minneapolis shelter vandalized more than year ago asked for leniency for attacker as it mends
St. Anne’s Place, a family homeless shelter in north Minneapolis, was attacked by a group of its across-the-street neighbors in the middle of the night, forcing the shelter to relocate 16 mothers and their 30-plus children. More than a year later, shelter staff attended the sentencing of one of the assailants, asking a Hennepin County judge to have mercy by waiving her $21,000 restitution. All they wanted in return was an apology.
