A 20-year-old man has been charged with robbing and killing a Minneapolis man as he walked home on a September morning in northeast Minneapolis.

Authorities charged Jeremiah Elijah Blackwell with murder and first-degree aggravated robbery, after matching the bullets that killed Eulalio Gonzalez Sanchez, of Minneapolis, to a gun they found in Blackwell's possession during later a traffic stop. Family members said that Gonzalez was shot in the early morning hours of Sept. 21 as he walked home from the bus stop after visiting his girlfriend.

Blackwell, who has been in custody since Oct. 8 after being picked up in connection with another robbery in the area, told police that he had been in church at the time of the shooting, but cell phone records placed him near the scene of the crime that morning.
