Defendant expressed this anger by throwing food in Victim’s face, pushing her, putting both of his hands around Victim’s throat, causing her to lose consciousness for approximately 30 seconds, and repeatedly stated “I’m going to kill you.” Victim [NAME REDACTED] was unable to get into the elevator before Defendant reached her and forced her back into the apartment.
Defendant brandished a gun during the incident, while telling her he would kill her and her dog. Victim moved out of her shared apartment with Defendant after the above incident and into an apartment on the 2500 block of Emerson Ave., in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
