Court documents say he had an active felony arrest warrant at the time of the arrest.

He was seen getting into a black vehicle waiting on the north side of the store along East Frontage Rd.

He’s also facing gross misdemeanor charges for felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance.

The stretch of North Broadway was closed for over an hour.

Investigators are awaiting the results of an autopsy.

A woman told officers a man who she recently met had threatened to blow up her vehicle and brandished a pistol after she refused to give him a ride to the Twin Cities.

Officers searched the suspect vehicle and found an open container of alcohol and a baggie containing suspected cocaine residue.

Witnesses said there was a group of about 15 people in the parking lot who fled once the gunfire rang out.

Court documents say he returned to the apartment 10 days after the reported burglary.

Rochester has been awarded grant funding to combat drug trafficking and violent crime annually since 2019.
