On the morning of February 6, 2023, Terrell Eshawn McIntyre, 39, was found dead in the driver’s seat of an SUV at the Newport Transit Center in Newport, Minnesota. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds; a witness who saw him slumped over in the vehicle called authorities around 11 a.m.

Surveillance footage showed a man get into the passenger side of McIntyre’s SUV and leave seconds later, then walk away from the scene. Investigators identified that man as McIntyre’s 37-year-old cousin, Sylvester Tremaine Jones. A SWAT team executed a search warrant at Jones’s nearby residence that evening and took him into custody without incident. A .22-caliber firearm matching shell casings from the scene was recovered during the search, and Jones admitted arranging the meeting by asking for a ride to Target and said he shot McIntyre between eight and ten times.

Jones later pleaded guilty to second-degree intentional murder and was sentenced; the court also ordered restitution to cover McIntyre’s funeral expenses. Does anyone have information about Terrell’s life in Newport or who might have known about the planned meeting that day?
