A fatal early-morning shooting in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood left 37-year-old Cody Thomas Telega dead. The shooting happened just after 1:30 a.m. on June 15, 2025, near the entrance of his apartment building at 117 East 3rd Street. Officers found Telega with multiple gunshot wounds; he was treated at the scene and taken to a local hospital, where he later died. Another man at the scene was fired upon but not injured.

Within hours two people were taken into custody along Interstate 35 near Cloquet: 35-year-old Antonio Duryea Hendon and 41-year-old Amber Michele Rose Walker. Hendon was booked on preliminary counts including second-degree murder and first-degree assault; Walker was held on a preliminary count of aiding and abetting second-degree murder. Police said those involved knew one another and were probing a prior incident that may have led to the confrontation.

Investigators linked the homicide to a home-invasion robbery at the same apartment the night before. Around 10:30 p.m. on June 14 two masked men forced their way into the residence and robbed a man who was home while Telega was not present. On June 20 police announced arrests of two Duluth men, Lance Houle, 37, and Steve Shotley, 37, in connection with that robbery. The specific nature of the connection between the robbery and Telega’s killing has not been detailed.

Did anyone in Duluth recognize these names or have information about either incident?
