Maplewood shooting: St. Paul man fired on car while kids cowered nearby, charges say
A man with a history of gun convictions was charged Friday with attempted murder, accused of opening fire in Maplewood while two juveniles cowered in fear nearby. Officers responded to an apartment building parking lot at Larpenteur Avenue and McMenemy Street about 5:55 p.m. on April 16. A child had just exited a bus and was waiting to be buzzed into an apartment building when the shooting happened. Surveillance video showed a Chevrolet Malibu entered the lot and drove past a gold vehicle. The shooter got out of the Chevrolet, pulled out a handgun and fired three volleys at the other vehicle. Police found 18 spent casings in the parking lot. 'The volleys were in rapid succession and the video's audio suggests that there was a trigger activator on the handgun making it fully automatic,' the complaint said. Video also showed the child from the bus and another juvenile were in fear as they tried to get into the building. A passenger from the gold sedan got into the driver's seat, drove to Regions Hospital and dropped off a 22-year-old man. The man was treated for gunshot wounds to his left shoulder and left leg. He did not want to talk to police, the complaint said. After law enforcement identified the license plate on the Chevrolet, police pulled over the vehicle on April 22 in Minneapolis. They found Muhnee Jaleel Bailey, 24, of St. Paul, was driving. Bailey was on release from the Federal Bureau of Prisons to a halfway house in Minneapolis, according to the complaint. He pleaded guilty in March 2023 to a federal charge of possession of a firearm as felon. On the day of the shooting, Bailey returned to the house wearing clothes that matched the shooter's, the complaint said of surveillance footage. He was wearing a sweatshirt that said, 'In Glock We Trust.' Police learned that Bailey and a woman resided in St. Paul, and they carried out a search warrant at the residence on Aurora Avenue near Central Village Park.

The woman told police that she has a permit to carry and owns a handgun; she said she wasn't aware of other firearms in the bedroom. Police arrested Bailey on Wednesday. The Ramsey County Attorney's Office charged him with second-degree intentional attempted murder (not premediated), drive-by shooting and four counts of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a person prohibited due to a conviction for a crime of violence. In addition to the federal case, Bailey has been convicted of possession of a pistol without a permit, possession of a trigger activator, drive-by shooting and fleeing police in a vehicle, the complaint said.

Human smugglers sentenced to prison after Indian family froze to death near border
Two men who are part of an international human smuggling conspiracy have received prison sentences after an Indian family-of-four froze to death in Minnesota shortly after being brought across the Canadian border. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel, 29, was sentenced to 10 years and Steve Shand, 50, received a sentence of more than six-and-a-half years for their involvement in a smuggling scheme that resulted in the deaths of Jagdishkumar and Vaishaliben Patel, 39 and 37, and their children Vihangi, 11, and Dharmik, 3. The family was found in northern Minnesota about 40 feet from the Canadian border on Jan. 19, 2022. All four died from exposure to the cold. Per the U.S. Attorney's Office of Minnesota, Harshkumar Patel and Shand "were involved in a major human smuggling operation" bringing Indian nationals into Canada on fake student visas, and then smuggling them across the border into the U.S. The court heard that Patel handled the smuggling from Manitoba into the U.S., with Shand picking them up after they crossed into the U.S. before bringing them to Chicago. Both men were paid for this, with the "going rate" to be smuggled from India to the U.S. an estimated $100,000. The Patel family was among a group of 11 being smuggled into the U.S. by Shand and Patel during a January blizzard. As the blizzard raged, Shand's van got stuck in the snow, with the group "forced to travel on foot" for around seven hours in -36F wind chills as they looked for Shand. Two found the van, but the others remained missing. Five were found by authorities, one of them suffering from severe hypothermia that required her to be flown to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police found the Patel family, who had become separated from the larger group overnight. "Every time I think about this case I think about this family – including two beautiful little children – who the defendants left to freeze to death in a blizzard," said Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick. "As we've seen time and time again, human traffickers care nothing for humanity. I am proud of the work of our law enforcement partners in holding these defendants accountable for their unspeakable crimes." During sentencing, U.S. District Court Judge John R. Tunheim said the family died on "one of the coldest nights of the winter," and argued Patel and Shand "could have done something" that might have made a difference. The pair were found guilty by a federal jury of multiple charges in November, including conspiracy to bring aliens to the Unites States causing serious bodily injury and placing lives in jeopardy.

Charges: Drunk-driver ran red light at 100 mph, causing fatal crash in St. Paul
A 30-year-old man was allegedly traveling at between 90-100 mph when he ran a red light in a residential area of St. Paul, causing a crash that left a local man dead. Paw Moo Htoo, of St. Paul, is charged with criminal vehicular homicide in the crash at Arlington Avenue and Dale Street at around 7:35 p.m. Sunday, which resulted in the death of Marvin Scroggins, 42, also of St. Paul. Officers arrived at the scene to find "catastrophic impact" on the driver's side of Scroggins' Volvo SUV, and the 42-year-old had to be extricated from the vehicle, before ultimately being pronounced dead at the scene. Police also found "severe front-end damage" on Htoo's Honda Accord, and found the driver seated on some grass nearby, with blood on his arms and hands. When asked about the crash, Htoo allegedly said: "I was not driving. I was not the driver." The speed limit on Arlington is 25 mph, but witnesses put the speed Htoo was driving at between 90-100 mph. They also saw Htoo exit the Volvo, and said nobody else was inside it at the time of the crash. Bystanders who helped at the scene said Htoo's speech was slurred, and that he began stumbling as if trying to leave. Police arriving at the scene found nine empty beer vans inside Htoo's car. "Preliminary distance and speed calculations from the crash scene indicate the Accord was traveling at over 100 mph at the time it crashed into the Volvo," the complaint says. Htoo was taken to Regions Hospital, where he remains as of Tuesday. A blood sample was collected about two hours after the crash to test it for alcohol. The results are not yet back.
