Wilbert McCalister, 19, was fatally shot around 9:10 a.m. on September 7, 2018, near Avon Street and Carroll Avenue in the Summit-University neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota. McCalister was in a car with two acquaintances, 22-year-old Kalon Harvey-Brown and a 17-year-old male, when they met a marijuana dealer. An attempted robbery by McCalister’s associates escalated into an exchange of gunfire; the dealer shot McCalister twice in the back. McCalister exited the vehicle and collapsed on the street, where he was later pronounced dead.

The dealer turned himself in to police and said he fired because he believed he was about to be robbed; no charges had been filed against him immediately afterward while the investigation continued. Kalon Harvey-Brown was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated first-degree robbery and illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition; the 17-year-old companion was also arrested and charged.

There remain unanswered questions about the sequence of events inside the car and who fired first. Does anyone have information about that morning or about McCalister’s movements leading up to the shooting?
