According to court documents, a 22-year-old Minneapolis man, 23-year-old St. Paul woman, 23-year-old Indiana man and 25-year-old Minneapolis man are each charged with two counts of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and six counts of attempted second-degree murder.
The shooting happened during the afternoon of Nov. 22 on the 600 block of Aurora Avenue.
Charges say officers were called to the area just after 12:30 p.m. for a weapons complaint. The St. Paul woman reported a group of women associated with the father of her child were making threats outside her apartment door, and had guns and knives.
Responding officers learned she had let a cousin of her child’s father stay at her apartment for about a month, but told that person to leave after getting into a dispute over a phone charger.
Three people at the woman’s apartment were there to gather the belongings of the person kicked out, and worked with officers to do so. The three people then left.
Around 20 minutes after officers left the area, around 1:35 p.m., officers were called back for reports of six to 20 gunshots.
The woman’s mother called and said the people who were at her apartment door were now shooting, and asked for a police escort from the building, according to the criminal complaint.
Officers responding to the shots fired call found a 26-year-old man on the ground with several gunshot wounds. He was near a Mazda with at least 13 bullet holes in it and shattered windows, charges say. The man died while being transported to the hospital.Â
