A 54-year-old man who was shot and killed outside his St. Paul home will be laid to rest Saturday.

Funeral services for Htoo Baw are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. at the Bradshaw funeral home at 1078 Rice St. Htoo Baw was killed Monday night while he retrieved a bag from his car on the 700 block of Orange Avenue E., his family said.

The shooting occurred around 9:30 p.m., about 18 minutes after another man was shot in the arm a few blocks away, near Rose Avenue E. and Arcade Street. Police have not confirmed whether the shootings were connected or whether Htoo Baw was targeted or was a random victim. Nobody has been arrested.

Baw, a Karen immigrant, moved to the United States from Thailand almost seven years ago.

His daughter Ehgay Poe has started an online fundraiser to help with the funeral costs.
