Now, McGill’s ex-boyfriend, 39-year-old Willie John Selmon II, is charged with second-degree assault and reckless discharge of a gun.
According to a criminal complaint, Selmon and McGill had recently broken up so Selmon went to the home to retrieve some personal belongings. That’s when Pryor parked next to Selmon’s vehicle, made a comment about a gun and then started firing shots at Selmon, hitting him in the face.
Selmon told police he then ran in front of McGill’s vehicle, putting her between Selmon and Pryor, who continued exchanging gunfire.
The complaint states McGill was hit 10 times as she sat in her vehicle and died at the scene. Pryor suffered two non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and Selmon suffered wounds to his face.
Pryor initially ran away but later returned and was taken into custody after being treated at a hospital. Selmon showed up at a hospital and is expected to need surgery to remove a bullet from his jaw.
Murder charges could be added against the pair at a later time, according to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office.
Selmon made his first court appearance Friday and had his bail set at $500,000 without conditions or $300,000 with conditions. His next hearing is set for Aug. 24. Pryor received the same bail amounts and is next scheduled to appear in court on July 27.
