mncrime.com/latest/court-d…
Just before midnight Wednesday, March 24, police responded to the Stop N Shop at 1700 E. Lake St. after the report of gunshots and a victim who was struck in the head.
Officers arrived and found the victim, identified in charging documents only as "R.D.," lying on his back with a pool of blood under his head. He had a gunshot wound to the right eye and officers were not able to regain his pulse. He died a short time later at HCMC.
A witness told investigators she & the victim were friends and he had come from St. Cloud to help her move. They stopped just before midnight to grab a soda, she told investigators, when R.D. may have brushed past Stubblefield in the store and the two got into a verbal argument.
Stubblefield followed R. D. out of the store and said something to the effect of "don't call me a n---er." R.D. replied that he hadn't said that and Stubblefield spit in his face, the complaint said, before the witness said Stubblefield pulled the trigger and shot R.D.

The woman then told people again she was going to blow the place up and proceeded to pour additives all over pump #2, an officer said, spilling more of it as she walked through the lot and continued walking west.

Squads are checking the area.
The female reportedly stopped inside the Wings Financial and appeared "pretty irate" before leaving again on foot to the west.
