Carl Anthony Dobbs Jr., 31, a father of three from Canton, Minnesota, was killed in the early hours of January 1, 2020 after leaving Johnny Baby’s bar on University Avenue in Saint Paul. Surveillance footage shows Trayvon Titus Anderson and Zollie Shamual Brown entering the bar shortly before Dobbs arrived; Anderson sat next to Dobbs, the two exchanged words, and a crowd briefly separated them. Dobbs left the bar just after 2 a.m. and got into his car. Anderson then approached on foot and fired repeatedly into the vehicle; Dobbs was struck four times and pronounced dead in the driver’s seat. Investigators recovered 11 shell casings and found that Anderson returned to a Chevrolet Impala where Brown was waiting; Brown then drove them away.

Both men were identified from the footage and arrested in early January. Anderson was charged with second-degree murder; Brown was charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding an offender to avoid arrest. If anyone knew Carl Dobbs, his movements that night, or saw the Impala in the area, please share what was seen.
