On a late Sunday afternoon in Saint Paul, Minnesota, 33-year-old Angelica Gonzales was shot in the face and killed on September 4, 2022, when a masked assailant entered a duplex in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood and opened fire. Gonzales was one of three people killed in that attack; two other victims were wounded.

Authorities arrested 41-year-old Antonio Dupree Wright in Chicago days after the shootings and charged him with three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of attempted second-degree murder. Prosecutors advanced a theory that Wright, described in trial testimony as a heroin dealer, believed the victims were snitching. A shooting victim initially identified Wright as the masked gunman.

At trial in September 2023 the key witness recanted, saying Wright was not the shooter and describing a different hairstyle for the assailant. Other witness accounts conflicted, an alibi and surveillance placed Wright in Chicago around the time of the murders, and a judge found him not guilty on all charges. The deaths of Angelica Gonzales, Maisha Spaulding and Cory Freeman remain unsolved. Does anyone have information about what happened at the duplex that afternoon?
