Police said information about Wells’ role in the shooting is expected to come from the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office. Police said they are looking for another suspect as well.
"This case is as complex as it is tragic," St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said in a statement. "I’m incredibly proud of everyone at the St. Paul Police Department who worked so hard to identify and locate the suspect—but our work isn’t finished. We know there’s another suspect out there, running and hiding. And I know we won’t stop until he’s found. Because that’s what the victim, his family and our community expect and deserve. Because that’s the way our guardians are wired—they work tirelessly in for justice."
