    Cody Fohrenkam pleads guilty to murder 

A man who was previously convicted in connection with the 2022 murder of Deshaun Hill has entered a guilty plea, according to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office.

Cody Fohrenkam, 33, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Under the terms of the plea deal, he is expected to be sentenced to over 28 years (340 months) in prison.

Fohrenkam was convicted of the murder in January 2023 and was sentenced to over 38 years in prison.

But the Minnesota Court of Appeals ordered a new trial, saying some of the statements used at trial were made during an unconstitutional detention. The second trial was scheduled to begin this week.

Hill, 15, was a standout athlete for Minneapolis North High School’s football and basketball team. Authorities say he was walking home from school on Feb. 9, 2022, when he was shot near North Penn Avenue and Golden Valley Road. He was rushed to a hospital, where he died the next day.

Authorities said Fohrenkam and Hill brushed shoulders while walking past each other, but there was seemingly no other reason for the shooting.

Fohrenkam is scheduled to be sentenced on March 2, the Attorney’s Office said.
