The alleged shooter’s father, 40-year-old Letterance Demont Grady, was subsequently charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of aiding an offender to avoid arrest.
The younger Grady turned himself in late last month, and his dad was arrested on Nov. 4, the paper reports.
Both remain in police custody, and neither defendant had enters pleas to the charges against them.
Gunfire rang out in Minneapolis shortly before 4 p.m. on Sept. 8, and two bullets struck London — in his chest and abdomen.
Because a second youth was nearly shot that afternoon, an additional attempted murder count was filed against Jeremiah Grady.
However, video surveillance from the area showed a man matching his description who was with Jeremiah Grady moments before the shooting, the complaint states.
According to the complaint, Letterance Grady shuttled his son to and from the crime scene.
The complaint states there was a physical fight between London and Jeremiah Grady’s younger brother before the shooting.
According to the complaint, Jeremiah Grady suddenly showed up in black clothing and a mask and brandished a gun. The shooting sent people scattering for safety, and killed London.

Both Jeremiah Grady and his brother told police in recorded interviews their father “encouraged them to retaliate” against London’s family, according to the complaint, which notes Letterance Grady denied telling his son to use a gun.
Meanwhile,a GoFundMe campaigncontinues to seek donations to help pay for London’s funeral.
The campaign describes London as “a very goofy, energetic boy” who “was the life of the party” and “turned every negative situation positive.”
