Andre Lorenzo Mitchell, 26, was sitting in his parked Mazda sedan on Aurora Avenue in Saint Paul on November 22, 2024, when a dark SUV pulled up and occupants opened fire. Mitchell, who was waiting with another man to pick up the mother of his child, was struck multiple times. His 2-month-old baby and 5-year-old sister were in the back seat; neither child was physically injured, though investigators found at least 13 bullet holes in the driver’s side and a bullet had pierced the baby’s car seat covered in shattered glass. First responders rushed Mitchell to an ambulance, but he died en route to the hospital.

Authorities believe the shooting was a case of mistaken identity connected to an earlier dispute that did not involve Mitchell. Surveillance footage, phone records, and social media posts led police to arrest four people: siblings Steven Rawls Jr, Malik Rawls, and Jasmine Rawls, plus Jarvis Sanders. Each was charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted second-degree murder. One defendant, Steven Rawls Jr, was convicted of aiding and abetting second-degree murder and three counts of second-degree attempted murder and sentenced to more than 30 years in prison; proceedings against the others were pending.

Does anyone have information about Mitchell’s movements that afternoon or the vehicle involved?
