A suspect in the deaths of five women after a high-speed crash in Minneapolis is now facing federal charges. Derrick John Thompson, 27, has been charged federally with illegal possession of fentanyl and a firearm after a crash that killed five young women Friday night near I-35W & Lake St.

Officials have confirmed that five people were killed in a crash Friday night near Lake St. and I-35W after a driver at a high rate of speed t-boned a vehicle at the intersection and fled on foot. Four adult female victims and one juvenile female victim inside the t-boned vehicle died at the scene, police say. An adult male suspect who is believed to have caused the crash was apprehended a short time later.
