Third 'Loud Pack' defendant convicted, sent to prison

The last of three defendants was put behind bars for a yearlong string of shootings and burglaries linked to their "Loud Pack" gang.

Dementry Loyd, 20, of Minneapolis was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for his conviction on an assault charge, according the Hennepin County attorney's office. He also received a year-and-a-half sentence for burglary that will run at the same time. The three were charged in March with burglary, assault and theft in connection with the string of crimes, which allegedly began in early 2012.

Marlon Collins, 21, of Minneapolis was sentenced to a year in the Hennepin County workhouse with five years' probation and a four-year stayed prison sentence. His brother Montrelle Collins, 20, of Minneapolis is serving two years for assault.

The convictions are connected to a September 2012 incident where, charges say, the three men and three others were walking past a north Minneapolis house, where a woman who lived there asked if there was a problem. Montrelle Collins said not to worry, but when she persisted they pulled out handguns and fired multiple times as she fled into the house with her children. The men then ran away yelling "Loud Pack," charges said.

In return for their guilty pleas, several other counts of assault and burglary were dropped against the three.

A former accountant for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was sentenced Monday for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the church.

He was given about two years on one count, a little over two years for a second count and a little over three years for the third count. The sentences will run concurrently.

Domeier was also sentenced on two counts of filing false tax returns, receiving about a year-and-a-half for one count and almost two years for the second count. The sentences will run concurrently.

Domeier was director of accounting services for the archdiocese from 1995 until the thefts were reported in January 2012.

He admitted to stealing money starting in 1995. He issued checks totaling $483,000 to pay balances on his credit card and for private school tuition for his children.

Insurers covered the church's loss.

Two 19-year-olds were charged Tuesday with participating in a robbery-inspired slaying.

Three other suspects remain at large, including the triggerman, according to charges.

Tyler James Fisher, 19, of Annandale, was charged with aiding a murder and aggravated robbery and aiding an offender. Samara Leigh Juhl, 19, of Otsego, was charged with aiding the aggravated robbery and an offender.

Both were arrested and taken to the Wright County jail after Kyle Greene, 42, was found dead Sept. 28 in his garage off Poplar Avenue S. by his girlfriend. Neighbors reported to police that they had heard people running to a car yelling, "Go, go, go!" after a loud bang at 1:30 a.m.

According to the investigation, police say three other suspects had asked Juhl and Fisher for a name of someone to rob. Juhl suggested Greene, who she said was her drug dealer. According to the charges, she texted Greene to set up a drug deal in exchange for stolen tools.

The suspects, Fisher told police, admitted to him that they killed Greene and stole his wallet. Fisher then had Juhl and another person help get rid of the tools.

The other suspects have not yet been named, and the case remains under investigation.
