Pierre Cortez Jenkins, 31, of Minneapolis, is charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon causing substantial bodily harm.
The victim told police he heard gunshots and realized he had been hit in the left calf, but did not see the shooter or know what led to the shooting. He could not walk on the injured leg and was taken to a hospital by ambulance, the complaint says.
