Kacey Feiner, 22, was shot multiple times and died after a confrontation on Glenridge Avenue in Saint Paul’s Battle Creek neighborhood in the early hours of September 7, 2019. Police arrived around 1:15 a.m. to reports of a shooting but found no victim; Feiner had been taken to Regions Hospital in a private vehicle and was pronounced dead there. An autopsy found he had been shot between seven and eleven times.

Investigators tied the killing to a feud that began on social media between rival street gangs. Feiner was identified as a member of the Ham Crazy gang; authorities say the suspected shooter was Michael Cordell Garland, 19, a member of the rival EBK gang. Text messages obtained by police show the two exchanged escalating threats and arranged to meet. Witnesses described an argument during which Feiner tried to walk away, was pushed to the ground, and was then shot while on his back. Garland reportedly fled the scene and later allegedly told a fellow gang member he had done something stupid.

Garland, also known on the street as DoDo man, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; bail was set at $1 million and he pleaded not guilty. The killing was listed among several homicides that year that raised Saint Paul’s homicide rate. If anyone knew Kacey or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
