A man who was shot and killed in a vehicle in St. Paul on Friday afternoon, as two young children were in the backseat, was identified Monday as a 26-year-old.
Andre Lorenzo Mitchell, of Minneapolis, was found with multiple gunshot injuries to his upper body in the 600 block of Aurora Avenue.
Officers responded to the Summit-University neighborhood about 1:30 p.m. Friday on multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired and that a person had apparently been shot.
Mitchell was inside a parked vehicle with another man, an infant and a toddler when a small dark vehicle, possibly a sport-utility vehicle, drove by and someone fired shots. The other three people were not injured, but investigators found the carseat that held the infant had holes from two bullets that were “extremely close to striking the child,” said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman, on Friday.
No one has been arrested and the investigation is ongoing. Police said the incident did not appear random.
