DaVoncea L. Griffo, 27, was fatally shot during an early-morning after-party in Saint Paul’s Frogtown neighborhood on July 18, 2026. Police responded about 4:20 a.m. after callers reported roughly 20 gunshots; officers found Griffo unresponsive in the street with extensive gunshot injuries to his head and face. He was taken to an ambulance and pronounced dead about 4:38 a.m.; the Ramsey County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators recovered 26 shell casings of three different calibers and found casings and blood at the entrance of a nearby building. Two other people were wounded and taken to Regions Hospital with non-life-threatening thigh injuries. Prosecutors say surveillance footage shows 37-year-old Christopher Germaine Burke-Harris changing clothes and then pointing and firing at Griffo; Burke-Harris denied firing. Two other men—Anthony Michael Rivera and Treheem Smith—were arrested and charged with, respectively, unlawful possession of a firearm or ammunition and aiding an offender based on allegations tied to the shooting and its aftermath.

Did anyone attend that after-party or see activity on Edmund Avenue West and North Kent Street early that morning?
