A Brooklyn Park teen has been charged with shooting and killing a 20-year-old man at a house party in Plymouth on Saturday night.
The suspect, 19-year-old Raheim Tyrese Cooper, faces two charges of murder in connection with the death of Abraham Archie-Boy Barbly, 20, of Brooklyn Center.
Police responded to the 5800 block of Oakview Lane just before 10:50 p.m., with a caller reporting at least one person shot who was not breathing, according to the criminal complaint filed Wednesday in Hennepin County District Court.
Officers observed a large group of people trying to leave the home, and found Barbly lying on the kitchen floor with numerous gunshot wounds, the charges say. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Next to a Plymouth police squad car, officers found a backpack with a loaded gun inside, with a laser sight and a switch to make it fully automatic, according to the complaint.
The complaint says Cooper was one of two people near the backpack.
Police spoke with a girl seen wearing the backpack in body camera footage when officers arrived. The girl said she heard a disagreement when she went outside, before hearing gunfire and seeing people start to run.
While outside, Cooper asked the girl to hold his backpack, the complaint says. The girl said she did not know what was inside and that she knew Cooper.
