Antwan C. Watson, 16, was found in an alley on the 1000 block of York Avenue in Saint Paul on October 10, 2022, with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a student at Harding High School. The case became the city’s 28th homicide investigation that year.

Police arrested another 16-year-old from Saint Paul the next day, October 11, 2022, near 5th Street East and Minnesota Street. Officers recovered a loaded 9mm handgun from the teenager’s front waistband. According to court papers, the suspect first gave several different statements before ultimately saying he shot Watson and claiming there had been a struggle over a gun taken from Watson’s pants. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office filed juvenile petitions charging the suspect with two counts of second-degree murder and moved to transfer the case to adult court; a juvenile judge will decide on the transfer.

Does anyone have information about Antwan’s movements that day or saw anything in that York Avenue area on October 10?
