On April 30, 2026, at approximately 10:07 P.M., police responded to 1XX Larpenteur Avenue, St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, regarding an active physical altercation. Upon arrival, police spoke with PGF, who was sitting in his vehicle. PGF told police that he was cut in the face. PGF reported that he was supposed to pick up his son from his aunt’s house, but when he arrived there, he was informed that his son was with his mother at this location. When PGF arrived to get his son, he said he got into an altercation with his son’s mother, KLB, and her fiancé, CORTEZ JAMINE LINDSEY – [DOB redacted]. PGF said that he tried to leave the apartment during the altercation and KLB followed him out and threw a brick at him.
PGF said he kept walking to his car where his son was when LINDSEY came outside. PGF reported that LINDSEY got close to him by the driver’s side door and swung his arm at PGF. When he did so, PGF observed that LINDSEY had a knife in his hand. PGF stated that LINDSEY swung the knife at his face. PGF said he punched LINDSEY in the face, which allowed him to disarm LINDSEY. PGF had a laceration on the left side of his upper lip that was cut all the way through the skin on his lip. Police observed bloodlike substances around the area of PGF’s vehicle.
While on scene, PGF began vomiting and had bloodlike fluid in his vomit. KLB told police that she got a call from her son that PGF did not pick him up from his aunt’s house, so KLB picked up her son. Soon after they got home, KLB said PGF arrived at the apartment and pounded on the window. KLB stated that she went outside with her son and argued with PGF. KLB said she told PGF to leave, and he refused, so she threw a rock near him to get him to leave. KLB reported that she went inside so PGF would leave.
When she went inside, KLB said she told LINDSEY about the incident. KLB reported that LINDSEY responded that he was done with PGF coming to the apartment and causing problems. KLB said she noticed that LINDSEY had a knife in his pocket. KLB told LINDSEY not to go outside and tried to block the door. KLB stated that she told LINDSEY that if he went outside, she would call 911 on both him and PGF. Shortly after LINDSEY went outside, KLB reported that she went outside and observed them physical fighting and PGF had LINDSEY in a headlock.
KLB said she went back inside, and LINDSEY came inside shortly thereafter, changed his shoes, and left. While speaking with police, LINDSEY called KLB. KLB handed the officer the phone, and LINDSEY agreed to return to the apartment to talk about the incident. When he returned, LINDSEY was taken into custody. Following a Miranda advisory, LINDSEY said PGF came to the apartment and banged on the window, so KLB went outside to talk with him. LINDSEY reported that he heard a verbal argument between them then KLB came back inside crying while PGF continued yelling outside.
