A South St. Paul man has been charged in connection with a deadly shooting that left one person dead and another seriously injured early Friday morning.
Prosecutors charged 19-year-old Terrell Anthony Ranzy after being accused of firing multiple shots inside a crowded bedroom during an attempted robbery, striking both men.
According to the criminal complaint, officers were called just after 3:40 a.m. Sept. 12 to a home on the 300 block of Second Avenue South in South St. Paul on a report of an unresponsive man. Police say they struggled to force open a bedroom door that was blocked and discovered two young men inside with gunshot wounds. Matthew Robert Lee, 20, was found on the floor with no pulse and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another 20-year-old, Keith Woodson Cox, had tourniquets on his arm and wounds to his torso. A black Glock was found on a table nearby.
