A Saint Paul man is facing 14 felony charges including attempted murder, carjacking and assault with a firearm after authorities say he carried out a chaotic and violent crime spree across downtown.
Eric Deonta Hill, 36, is accused of pointing guns at drivers and rideshare passengers, firing a shot into a Jeep windshield, and attempting multiple carjackings before confronting police officers with a revolver.
He was ultimately tackled and arrested near Kellogg Boulevard and Robert Street after allegedly raising the gun toward two Saint Paul officers.
The charges stem from a series of incidents that began around 9:23 p.m. on Friday, June 20. According to the criminal complaint, Hill first approached a driver waiting in his parked Nissan Altima on the 100 block of Avon Street. Hill reportedly lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun, pointed it at the driver, and ordered him out of the car. The victim complied, and Hill drove away in the stolen vehicle, which also contained the victim’s phone.
