A man who may have been a murder suspect was shot and killed by St. Paul police on Saturday afternoon.

According to the St. Paul Police Department, officers responded to the 1100 block of West Seventh Street just after 1 p.m. when a caller reported that a wanted St. Paul homicide suspect was on a bicycle at a laundromat nearby.

Officers arrived on scene and began monitoring the business when a man approached on a bike. The caller called back and said the man on the bike in front of the laundromat was the suspect.

Authorities waited for the man to leave the business and at around 1:45 p.m., he rode his bike south on Bay Street to Watson Avenue.

St. Paul police say that officers closed in on him to confirm if he was the suspect. When law enforcement approached, they saw he was armed with a handgun and officers fired their weapons and hit him.

A neighbor in the area, Cameron Kral, says his brother heard the gunshots and saw the suspect fall but did not see the officers firing.

“He said the cops just shot somebody and I don’t know what’s going on, he said he didn’t hear a stop or anything, he said they just went ‘boom, boom, boom,’ and started roping everything off.”

Officers provided life-saving measures on the man, who was then brought to Regions Hospital, where he later died.

No officers were injured in the shooting.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is conducting an investigation and will review all evidence associated with the shooting. The identity of the man will be released by the BCA at a later time.

It is unknown at this time if the man who died was in fact the suspect.

The officers involved will be placed on administrative leave, according to St. Paul police.
