On November 24, 2023, 26-year-old Avontae Troy King, a Black father of two young boys, was shot in the chest on the 400 block of 3rd Avenue South in South Saint Paul and later died at a local hospital. Police say the incident began as a dispute over a bag of marijuana when Andrew Michael Fisher, 20, and Tre Manuel Iglesias, 22, visited King’s residence. Fisher allegedly grabbed the bag and ran; King pursued. According to reports, Fisher then turned and fired a single shot that struck King while the victim was unarmed. A witness said someone shouted, Shoot him, just before the shot. King’s four-year-old son reportedly witnessed the shooting.

Both Fisher and Iglesias were arrested and charged with second-degree intentional murder and second-degree unintentional murder. Iglesias reportedly turned himself in and gave a statement to police about his and Fisher’s involvement. Does anyone have information about King, his routine on that day, or witnesses who haven’t been contacted?
