Violence continues to skyrocket in the once serene Uptown area of Minneapolis, MN.

What you do with your lottery winnings is ultimately your business. But what a man in Michigan did with his seems unadvisable, especially given the unfortunate events that followed.

The man said he won $30,000 playing the lottery, bought a $20,000 gold chain and then had his jewelry stolen at a gas station on Detroitโ€™s west side.

GAS STATION SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWS ALLEGED ROBBERY

Security footage was obtained from a Mobil gas station near West Warren Avenue and Grand Boulevard.

The man, who was identified as Jamal, is seen inside the store with the alleged assailants walking into the store. One is seen clearly on camera.

Later, Jamal is seen outside the store and was attacked by the men. They eventually grabbed the chain from Jamal as he struggled to get back into the gas station.

According to the report, the gas station owner said one of the assailants may have committed a similar robbery at the gas station a few months ago. Footage of that alleged robbery also was shown on the report.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to call the Detroit Police Department.

WHAT EXPERTS RECOMMEND WHEN YOU HIT THE LOTTO

Although the $30,000 lottery score is modest compared with multiple million-dollar wins, itโ€™s a good course of action to be responsible with any winnings.

If you hit a big lottery score, you should consult an accountant, financial adviser and tax attorney.

A Michigan lawmaker also introduced a bill in the state House of Representatives to allow big lottery winners to remain anonymous.

The bill, introduced by Pat Outman (R-Six Lakes), passed the House in May and is now in front of the Senateโ€™s Regulatory Reform Committee.

Also in the news this week, a mid-Michigan man who blew nearly $1 million in lottery winnings was found dead after several tumultuous years following his 2010 score.

A second lawsuit has been filed against Daunte Wright's estate, this time alleging he assaulted and robbed a man in March, just three weeks before former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter shot and killed him during a traffic stop.

The civil complaint, filed in Hennepin County District Court by attorney Michael Padden, claims Wright was there when an accomplice shot 20-year-old Joshua Hodges on March 21 before the two robbed him of his phone, wallet and car. Padden also filed a lawsuit in May that alleges Wright shot and permanently disabled a teenager in 2019.

The Wright family is represented by national civil rights attorney Ben Crump, Chicago-based personal injury lawyer Antonio Romanucci and Twin Cities-based attorney Jeff Storms, who was part of the legal team that won a record $27 million wrongful death settlement for George Floyd's death.

The lawsuit states that around 7:05 p.m. on March 21, Wright and another person got out of a car and approached the plaintiff, Hodges, who was sitting in a 2004 Honda Civic outside a residence on Washington Avenue in north Minneapolis.

The lawsuit goes on to say the person who was with Wright opened the driver's side door and shot Hodges in the leg, striking an artery and causing "massive bleeding" and fracturing the victim's fibula. Then, Wright allegedly beat Hodges, leaving him with injuries to his face, mouth and teeth. The gunshot wound resulted in a "lengthy hospitalization," and Padden argues the incident "easily could have resulted in (Hodges's) death."

Wright and the other perpetrator then took Hodges's wallet and cellphone before Wright got in the car and drove away, the lawsuit alleges. The other perpetrator got into the vehicle he and Wright drove to the scene.

Hodges claims to have recognized Wright as one of the perpetrators because they had previously gone to school together. The complaint states shortly after Wright started approaching Hodges's car, he realized the victim recognized him and put on a mask.

The lawsuit seeks at least $50,000 in damages on counts of assault and battery, aiding and abetting, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and theft.

This is the second lawsuit filed against the estate of Daunte Wright in as many months. Padden is representing the plaintiffs in both of those cases.

In May, the mother of 18-year-old Caleb Livingston sued Wright on allegations that he had shot Livingston in the head on May 14, 2019, outside a gas station in north Minneapolis. Court documents claim Livingston now has permanent physical and mental disabilities and relies on his mother, Jennifer LeMay, to handle his basic living needs.

Wright was not charged with any crime related to the allegations detailed in either lawsuit. Padden says no other arrests have been made related to the alleged assault against Hodges.

In both cases, Padden emphasizes Wright's criminal history, including being charged in the aggravated robbery of a woman in Osseo in 2019 and having an arrest warrant on suspicion of illegal possession of a firearm and fleeing from police on June 30, 2020.

โ€œThe sad reality is that Daunte Wright was an arch criminal, and anyone who says otherwise is not being honest," Padden told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. "The crimes regarding Caleb Livingston, the Osseo victim six months later, and Joshua Hodges clearly represent just the tip of the iceberg.โ€

Former VP Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, continues to be a thorn in the side of the Biden Crime Family as more damaging information from Hunter's laptop a/k/a "the laptop from hell" is released. In the latest leak, a text conversation between Hunter and his lawyer reveals Hunter repeatedly using the n-word and telling his lawyer "you better not be charging me Hennessy rates." It's very disturbing to say the least. What is also disturbing is that this has received relatively no media coverage.

The upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo says no to the political messaging that has plagued American sports over the past few years.
