Murder charges in food hall mass shooting reveal details from chaotic scene.
Devondre Phillips, 29, is charged with 12 counts of second-degree attempted murder, while Terry Brown, 33, faces 11 counts of attempted murder and one count of second-degree murder.
The mass shooting at Seventh Street Truck Park that left one person dead and 14 injured. Marquisha D. Wiley, 27, died after suffering a gunshot wound to her back that tore into her left lung and heart, the charges state. Another 11 individuals were hurt.
Both were injured in the shootout early Sunday morning at the food hall and bar, with the charges alleging both men fired multiple times at the other, leaving innocent bystanders ducking for cover.
The charges reveal that responders found a man carrying the gravely wounded Wiley over his shoulder. Officers located a faint pulse “that disappeared after a few seconds.”
She was pronounced dead at 12:26 a.m. shortly after being loaded into an ambulance.”No one should have to live in fear of those around them settling their differences with a hail of gunfire,” said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in the announcement.
“What should have been a night to remember with music and dancing on a warm October evening, turned into a terrifying tragedy no one will ever forget, especially those who were injured in the crossfire.”
Phillips had to have surgery.
He and Brown remain hospitalized as of Monday afternoon, the charges state.
