Investigators quickly developed information about two suspects and shared those details with surrounding agencies. Officers with the Cloquet Police Department and Carlton County Sheriff’s Office later located and detained two suspects.

Antonio Duryea Hendon, 35, was booked into the Saint Louis County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder and first-degree assault. Amber Michele Rose Walker, 41, was also jailed on a preliminary charge of aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Authorities say all those involved were known to each other, and investigators are reviewing a prior incident that may have contributed to the shooting.

The victim’s name has not been released as of Sunday, pending family notification.
