On the evening of July 6, 2021, 30-year-old Kiefer Morgan was shot and killed inside a residence on the 1100 block of Pacific Street in Saint Paul’s Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood. First responders arrived around 6:40 p.m. and found Morgan on the dining room floor with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to witness accounts, Morgan was at home with his fiancée, her mother, and several children when three men arrived for a prearranged marijuana sale. Morgan had been communicating with an individual identified as Brian D. Booth to arrange the transaction. One man went inside while two waited outside and began forcefully kicking an exterior door. As the fiancée’s mother tried to barricade the door, gunfire erupted and Morgan was struck five times. The grandmother moved the children to a back bedroom and the fiancée attempted CPR after finding Morgan wounded.

Booth was identified during the investigation and arrested two days later in Ames, Iowa. Ammunition recovered at Booth’s Saint Paul residence matched the caliber used in the shooting, and the fiancée identified him from a photo lineup as the person who entered the home. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Morgan, his household, or the people involved?
