Teen Shot Dead in Vacant St. Paul House

St. Paul police are trying to determine if the shooting death of a 15-year-old in what was supposed to be a vacant home was an accident or murder.

Officers were called to a home near Maryland Ave. E and Abell Street around 10 a.m. Thursday.

They found a teenage boy with a gunshot wound to his upper body.

Neighbors told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS they thought the home was vacant. But police said there were four or five people inside the home at the time of the shooting.

Police said the people who were in the house are cooperating with investigators.

Police said the shooting might have been accidental. But they also said they have arrested one juvenile male and one adult male on probable cause murder.
