   Latalia Anjolie Margalli/Hennepin County Sheriff's Office   
      
   The woman accused of plowing her vehicle into a crowd of people early Saturday   
   morning in downtown Minneapolis has now been charged with second-degree   
   intentional murder and five counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous   
   weapon.   
      
   The crash killed 16-year-old De’Miaya Broome and left five others injured at   
   North 5th Street and Hennepin Avenue just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday; one of   
   the victims was initially reported to be in critical condition. The victims   
   suffered injuries from    
   bumps and bruises to broken legs, and a head injury, charges say.

   Charges filed Tuesday in Hennepin County District Court state that the driver   
   of the vehicle, Latalia Anjolie Margalli, 22, encountered a male she knew, and   
   they started to argue. A witness who had arrived at the scene with Margalli   
   later told police    
   that a group of unknown females started getting involved, telling Margalli to   
   leave him alone. The witness said the argument escalated to a fight, at which   
   point Margalli returned to her vehicle after one of the other females sprayed   
   mace. The other    
   females began taunting Margalli for leaving the fight, and one of their   
   friends jumped out of the vehicle and re-engaged in the fight, the witness   
   said. Margalli then drove her vehicle into the group that was fighting and   
   then fled the scene.   
      
   Videos posted online shortly after the crash showed both the fight and the   
   vehicle backing up near a crowd of people, which abruptly turned and drove   
   right into and over the crowd at the corner. One of the victims told police   
   that before Margalli got    
   into her vehicle, she said to the group, “I’m going to shoot you.”

   A witness to the crash followed Margalli out of downtown and into north   
   Minneapolis, where police caught up with her and placed her under arrest,   
   Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara described in a Saturday press briefing.   
      
   During a press conference held on Tuesday, Hennepin County Attorney Mary   
   Moriarty said that Margalli’s actions were “intentional” and that’s   
   why she was charged with second-degree intentional murder. Moriarty contrasted   
   the charge against the    
   third-degree murder charges filed against Steven Bailey two weeks ago in the   
   Park Tavern crash in St. Louis Park that killed two people and injured several   
   others, emphasizing that Margalli allegedly “intended to use her vehicle to   
   kill the people that    
   she ran into and over.” Moriarty also stated that her office didn’t have   
   information yet about any substance or alcohol use by Margalli, but also   
   stated that it wouldn’t make a difference in their charging decision.   
      
   Margalli is being held in Hennepin County Jail on $1.5 million bail and is   
   scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.   
      
   Minnesota court records show Margalli was just convicted in March in   
   Washington County for driving after suspension. The Star Tribune reported that   
   Minnesota Department of Public Safety officials confirmed that Margalli’s   
   license was suspended at the    
   time of the crash.   
      
   Margalli also has a history of other driving-related convictions, plus a   
   conviction for fifth-degree assault. In the 2021 assault case, Margalli was   
   originally charged with first-degree assault involving her sister, who was age   
   14 at the time. The victim    
   told police that Margalli had punched her in the head multiple times, threw   
   her on the floor, and then kicked and stomped her until she lost   
   consciousness. Margalli was still attacking the victim when she regained   
   consciousness. The victim was    
   hospitalized and diagnosed with a dissected carotid artery as a result of the   
   assault. The charge against Margalli was eventually amended down to   
   fifth-degree assault, and Margalli was sentenced to eight days of community   
   service and was placed on    
   probation by Hennepin County Judge Julie Allyn.
