Charles D. Royston Jr., 21, of St. Paul, was shot multiple times Thursday night and died at the scene, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office.
Officers located a wounded Royston on the ground in the alley about 10 p.m. after responding to a ShotSpotter activation and several people calling 911, police said.
