On November 5, 2020, at about 10:22 PM, 23-year-old Donte Combs was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 400 block of Thomas Avenue in Saint Paul. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Witnesses said Combs was attempting to sell narcotics to Justyn Hosley and a 17-year-old boy when the shooting occurred. The juvenile allegedly shot Combs and fled the scene with the narcotics.

Authorities identified 24-year-old Justyn Hosley as a suspect and arrested a 17-year-old near Lexington Parkway and Thomas Avenue on suspicion of murder. Investigators reported that the juvenile was directed to kill Combs during the transaction. The death was the 29th homicide in Saint Paul in 2020. Does anyone have information about Combs’ activities that night or saw anything on Thomas Avenue around 10:20 PM?
