A Northampton County jury has convicted 32-year-old Rasheed Quayle Tisdale of criminal conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, the second man found responsible in the October 2023 shooting death of 46-year-old Legious Robert Minder Sr. outside a South Side Easton convenience store. The verdict came after a four-day trial before Judge Abraham P. Kassis.
Minder was shot and killed outside Chubby's convenience store on West St. Joseph Street in Easton, according to seed facts cited by LehighValleyLive.com. Easton police responded to a shooting report at the store on October 26, 2023, and officers found Minder sitting in the passenger seat of a parked vehicle with a gunshot wound to his head, according to Daily Voice. He died shortly after being taken to a hospital.
How Investigators Tracked Down a Suspect
The Easton Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division led the probe, with assistance from the Philadelphia Police Department's Homicide Fugitive Task Force and SWAT team, per the seed facts. Investigators identified Tisdale as a suspect using surveillance video, license plate readers and cellphone location tracking, Northampton County District Attorney Stephen G. Baratta said. Daily Voice reports Baratta credited that same mix of surveillance footage, license plate readers and advanced cellphone location tracking with cracking the case.
“The tireless work of the Easton police, in coordinated cooperation with other agencies, solved this case,” Baratta said, according to the seed facts. He added that license plate readers and cellphone location technology made the prosecution possible, and he commended Detective Christopher Miller and Inspector Brian Burd for their work on the investigation.
Tisdale was arrested in Philadelphia on December 17, 2024, and charged with criminal homicide and conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, per Daily Voice's reporting. A court ordered him held without bail following his arrest. His public defender did not immediately return a request for comment, according to the seed facts.
Sentencing Set for December, Co-Defendant Already Behind Bars
Tisdale is scheduled to be sentenced on December 10, 2026, and faces up to 40 years in state prison, the station's report notes. First Assistant District Attorney Robert Eyer prosecuted the case.
Tisdale's co-defendant, 36-year-old Kameron Barnes Nuble, was sentenced to 25 to 50 years in state prison on May 27, 2026. Accounts of Nuble's plea differ: Daily Voice reported he pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and criminal conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, while LehighValleyLive.com described his guilty plea as covering felony murder and felony conspiracy to commit criminal homicide, with the sentences to run consecutively for that aggregate term. Nuble is now serving the 25-to-50-year term, per the seed facts.
No motive for the shooting has been disclosed in the available reporting, and the extent of Tisdale's specific role beyond the conspiracy conviction has not been detailed publicly. With Tisdale's conviction, both men charged in connection with Minder's death have now been held accountable in court, more than three years after the shooting outside Chubby's left a Northampton County family grieving.
