Jonathan Diaz, a 35-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was fatally shot in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on the evening of July 1, 2024. The shooting occurred on the 800 block of York Avenue, the same residence where a prior shooting injured James Edward Hagen in August 2023. Diaz and his estranged wife had been separated for four years; she had been in a relationship with Hagen for three years, and a long-standing, bitter conflict between Diaz and Hagen had previously erupted into violence.

On July 1 Diaz drove past the York Avenue home to see his son and later was dropped off at the residence by a friend. Around 8:25 p.m. police responded to a shooting and found Diaz near a detached garage; his estranged wife was performing CPR. He was pronounced dead at the scene and a medical examiner determined he had been shot six times. Investigators recovered a 9mm handgun and multiple spent casings; Hagen was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and later also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm after DNA linked him to the gun.

Did anyone who knew Jonathan or his family see him in Saint Paul around July 1, 2024, or have information about events at the York Avenue residence that evening?
