A Saint Peter man stored the rifle used in a deadly North Mankato robbery attempt and helped the men involved afterward, charges say.

Devon Bruce Bakke, 18, faces six felony charges: aiding an offender in connection with second-degree murder, aiding an offender by obstructing the investigation of attempted first-degree aggravated robbery, aiding and abetting attempted first-degree aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree aggravated robbery, aiding an offender to avoid arrest for second-degree murder and aiding an offender to avoid arrest for attempted first-degree aggravated robbery.

According to the complaint, officers responded to a residential neighborhood in North Mankato at about 11:03 p.m. on May 23, 2026, after multiple reports of gunshots. Witnesses told police they saw someone speeding away from the area in a silver car with a loud exhaust that appeared to be a Chevrolet Impala. Officers arrived to find a car that had rolled into a residence, with the victim inside, doors locked and windows up.
