On July 20, 2026, 56-year-old Dena M. Silcox was killed at her workplace, the Davern Park Apartments leasing office in Saint Paul, Minnesota, during an attack that also claimed the lives of colleagues 43-year-old Adam J. Wilwerding and 25-year-old Nansi G. Fuentes Zambrano. Charging documents say the suspect, 30-year-old resident Tsegaab Ademassu Binessu, became enraged after being told he could not cancel a recently renewed $65-a-month parking garage contract. Surveillance video is said to show Binessu open fire inside the leasing office.

Authorities allege Binessu fled in one of the victims’ vehicles and was arrested later that night in Virginia, Minnesota, about 200 miles north of Saint Paul. Police reportedly found camping gear, a U.S. passport, and an empty handgun magazine in the vehicle. A criminal complaint cited a confession to a roommate and referenced the suspect’s frustration over a seven-year effort to bring his wife and children from Ethiopia to the U.S. He was charged with three counts of second-degree murder; bail was set at $10 million and a public defender was appointed.

Does anyone have information about Dena Silcox’s work at Davern Park Apartments or that leasing office on July 20, 2026?
