Michael Gray, 33, was fatally shot outside Johnny Baby’s bar at University Avenue and Chatsworth Street in Saint Paul around 2 a.m. on May 4, 2019. Officers found him facedown in the bar’s parking lot with gunshot wounds to his arm and head; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Four shell casings were recovered nearby and investigators say they were fired from the same gun.

Witness statements and surveillance footage place Gray at the back of a white Kia sedan in the lot as someone inside the vehicle leaned out and shot him. The Kia had been traced to an owner who said he lent the car to a man called TC for brake repairs.

Nearly four years after the shooting, 28-year-old Devante Lattrele Jennings was charged with second-degree intentional murder and second-degree unintentional murder while committing a felony; authorities say his fingerprints matched those recovered from the Kia and surveillance photos show him at the bar, and he did not deny being the person in those images during an interview at Moose Lake prison. Another person linked to the case, Wayne Brown, was killed near St. Paul Saloon on September 28, 2019; no charges have been filed in that killing. Anyone with information about Michael Gray’s death is asked to come forward.
