Investigation into the shooting

Dig Deeper:

According to the charges, surveillance video showed two cars entering a parking lot shortly before the shooting on the evening of October 2. A fight involving 10 people then broke out near the vehicles.

The driver of one of the cars got out and shot both victims and fled, according to court documents. Authorities eventually learned the driver was Adam, who was driving his brother’s car.

Investigators were able to find Adam’s phone with his car before, during and after the shooting, according to the charges. After the shooting, Adam gave up his phone and changed his phone number.

Officers then executed a search warrant at Adam’s home in St. Louis Park and found clothing that matched what the shooter was wearing in the surveillance video.
