On May 3, 2019, 21-year-old Marquez Perry-Banks of Maplewood was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Maryland Supermarket in Saint Paul’s North End. He was sitting in the driver’s seat of his Hyundai around noon when a Jeep Commander pulled up and a man emerged, opening fire. Bystanders tried to help but Perry-Banks died at the scene. Investigators recovered 13 shell casings around the vehicle.

Surveillance footage of the shooting captured the incident and was used to identify a suspect. Within hours police arrested 28-year-old Lavelle Darvon Brown of Saint Paul. Ramsey County prosecutors charged Brown with second-degree intentional murder and murder during a drive-by shooting and noted prior felony convictions, including domestic assaults and being a felon in possession of a firearm; he also faced a separate pending case alleging he discarded an AK-47 while fleeing police.
