Mayor Kaohly Her released the following statement following the arrests earlier this morning of suspects in the May 4 shooting:
“I am proud and grateful for the investigation our Saint Paul Police officers conducted alongside our law enforcement partners to identify the suspects responsible for the May 4 shooting in downtown Saint Paul.
This investigation is a testament to the work of our Non-Fatal Shooting Unit and to why we need a fully funded statewide approach. The individuals arrested today for violence in our city do not reside here, yet our city is still responsible for conducting the investigation and bringing them to justice.
Next legislative session, I hope to see our state invest in expanding this program beyond Ramsey County and Saint Paul to help interrupt violence before it happens and reaches our communities.”
