Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Mariah Rosanna Samuels got unalived by her ex-boyfriend, David Eugene Wright, who was stalking her in Minnesota.
On September 15, 2025, a 50-year-old man was booked into the Hennepin County jail on suspicion that a day earlier he fatally shot a woman who alleged in a court filing that he pistol-whipped her and threatened to harm others in her family a few weeks earlier.
The victim, 34-year-old Mariah Rosanna Samuels, was identified by her family as the victim of the shooting in the 1400 block of Russell Avenue N. in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The officers arrived at the home about 7:50 a.m. and rendered aid to Samuels, but she died at the scene.
The suspect shooter fled before officers arrived, but police caught up to him and booked him into jail about 3 p.m.
On August 26, Samuels petitioned Hennepin County District Court for an order for protection from the former boyfriend for herself and her 11-year-old son. The filing alleged a harrowing sequence of events in the wake of Samuels breaking up with the suspect by phone. The man was given a copy of the petition on August 29, according to court records.
The man, seeing that Samuels was not home on August 21, “called me [while] outside my home to drop off a gift,” her account began. He then threatened in texts to blow up the house, where her father also lives, the filing continued.
He tracked her to a home a couple blocks away where Samuels was dropping the son off, met her outside and “proceeded to hit me with his hand and the gun in my face and upper body,” the petition read.
The suspect went on to push her against a fence, hit her and grab her throat with one hand while still having the gun in his other hand, the filing noted. At the same time, he threatened to shoot her and anyone who came out of the home, she alleged.
Samuels explained in the filing that the suspect was attempting to knock her phone out of her hand while speaking to her best friend, who was calling 911 on her behalf.
She added that the encounter left her with a knot and scratches on her head and bruises on her collarbone and legs.
The suspect remains jailed pending charges.
