    A third person who was charged in the Nudieland mass shooting that killed one person and injured six others pled guilty on Monday at the Hennepin County Courthouse. Elias Thompson, 21, admitted guilt to aiding the shooter, 18-year-old Dominic Burris, and his accomplice, 18-year-old Cyrell Boyd. Prosecutors say Thompson helped house Burris and Boyd after the Aug. 11, 2023, shooting to avoid police detection and conspired with the two teens to hide evidence.
