Responding officers found Aubid-St. Clair lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his face; he was taken to Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators arrested 17-year-old Corey Devon Young, described as a childhood friend of the victim. Witnesses said Aubid-St. Clair went to Young’s apartment intending to confront him. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the two talking before Young removed a firearm from a fanny pack and shot Aubid-St. Clair at close range. Young told authorities he acted in self-defense and said Aubid-St. Clair had accused him of being a snitch. Young was on probation at the time for a recent felony firearm-related offense.

Xzavier Aubid-St. Clair was a student at Duluth East High School and is remembered for his smile and love of family. Can anyone who knew Xzavier or who has information about that night please come forward?
