On the evening of January 18, 2022, 31-year-old Kyle Quinn was found outside a residence on the 300 block of Blair Avenue in the Frogtown neighborhood of Saint Paul with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders took him to Regions Hospital around 5:30 p.m., where he died. His death was recorded as the city’s third homicide of the year.

A 31-year-old man, Nick Tyler Okland of Saint Paul, was arrested on suspicion of murder the night of the incident and held in the Ramsey County Jail, but he was released after a 36-hour hold expired without formal charges. Authorities said the investigation into the circumstances of the shooting was ongoing. There were other adults and children inside the Blair Avenue residence at the time, and about two hours after the shooting firefighters extinguished a small basement fire at the same address.

The Quinn family had already suffered the loss of another family member in a separate incident, adding to their grief as they awaited answers. Does anyone who lived in Frogtown or who knew Kyle have information that could help fill in what happened that evening?
