St. Paul police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Saturday night and say it could be connected to another shooting that occurred during a carjacking.

Officers responded to a report of a shooting at an apartment building on the 100 block of Sycamore Street East around 9 p.m. on Saturday.

Upon arriving, they found a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite first aid, she was pronounced deceased at the scene. She was identified Wednesday as Damara Alexis Stowers, 35.

Investigators don’t know if she lived in the building at this point, Sgt. Mike Ernster said, adding that the shooting is not believed to be random. However, evidence was still being analyzed on Sunday.

According to police, while officers were responding to this call, another officer was flagged down near the 90 block of Acker Street East for a carjacking in which the victim was shot. The suspect drove away in the victim’s vehicle and police say it could be connected to the murder.

The second victim, a man, was brought to the hospital and is expected to survive.

Investigators are working to determine if the two shootings are related and who is responsible.

Saturday marked the North End neighborhood’s third homicide in the past week.

Last weekend, a few miles north at the intersection of Woodbridge Street and Wheelock Parkway, 28-year-old Riccardo Fleming of Walker, Minn., was shot and killed.

Two nights later, 42-year-old Nicholas Sletten of Little Canada was fatally shot near Wheelock Parkway and Jackson Street.

Investigators do not have reason to believe the three homicides are connected in any way, Sgt. Ernster said on Saturday. Only the two incidents this Saturday night are believed to be.

No one has been arrested in any of these cases, he added. Anyone with information is asked to call 651-266-5650.

Ernster encouraged anyone who knows of people illegally carrying guns to call St. Paul Police. It “could save a life,” he said.
