Moorhead police investigating Sunday morning homicide

Moorhead police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Sunday morning.

Officers responded to the 2700 block of 14th Street South just after 9:30 a.m. on a report of gunshots.

When they got to the scene, they found a man who had been shot. Despite first aid, he died at the scene, police said, adding that the murder doesn’t appear to be random.

Investigators believe the suspect, identified Monday as 35-year-old Jerome Anthony Thomas III, left the scene in a newer, light green Chevrolet SUV. He is considered armed and dangerous and shouldn’t be approached.

Authorities are requesting formal charges of homicide and attempted homicide.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension was called in to assist with the investigation.

If you have any information on Thomas’ whereabouts, you can call the Red River Regional Dispatch Center at 701.451.7660 and request to speak to a Moorhead Supervisor.
