A 19-year-old man was fatally shot in a North St. Paul home over the weekend, and police say they made an arrest in what they are calling a random crime.
The shooting occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on Jan. 10 in a Cedarview Commons apartment in the 2000 block of 9th Avenue E., said Police Chief Raymond Rozales.
“It sounds like a random thing,” Rozales told the Minnesota Star Tribune. Police have yet to address the circumstances surrounding the killing.
Police said the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the victim as Nehemiah Davis, of Coon Rapids.
The suspect, a 24-year-old man from St. Paul, was arrested on Jan. 13 and remains jailed on suspicion of second-degree murder. Charges have yet to be filed. The Minnesota Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
