Four people were charged Tuesday in connection with a brutal weekend robbery that ended with two men being severely stabbed in a Fridley parking lot.
Kevin Moore, 25, of Spring Lake Park, and Marcus Fultz, 20, of Woodbury, each face six charges in the Saturday night attack, including attempted murder, first-degree assault and attempted aggravated robbery. The two are accused of repeatedly stabbing Anthony McCollum and Yani Singh.
McCollum and Singh, both 21, were at Two Stooges Bar & Grill about 2 a.m. Saturday when two women asked them for a ride to a nearby apartment complex, where they were attacked. The women, Leanne Todd and Tiffani Ivy, both 22, each face four charges, including aiding and abetting first-degree assault.
McCollum, of Hilltop, and Singh, of Columbia Heights, remained in critical condition Tuesday at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.
"This is a very serious crime, and we are pursuing the investigation vigorously," Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo said in a prepared statement.
Ivy admitted to police that the four defendants conspired together to rob the two victims, then changed her story a couple of times, according to the criminal complaint.
McCollum and Singh had agreed to give the women a ride to a parking lot near Todd's apartment off University Avenue NE. and NE. Mississippi Street, the complaint said.
Ivy later admitted that when the bar closed, she and Todd left the bar with the men and a third man, then stopped at a gas station before going to one of the men's apartment for two hours. The two victims then drove the women to Todd's apartment while the third male stayed behind.
