On the late afternoon of August 12, 2018, 21-year-old Devan L. Goode was shot and killed during a robbery on the 1400 block of East 6th Street in Saint Paul. Witnesses said several people were playing dice when a car pulled up, a man got out waving a gun, pistol-whipped Goode and then shot him once, the bullet piercing both lungs and his heart. Paramedics pronounced Goode dead at the scene after multiple reports of gunfire around 4:30 p.m.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Malik Dontarius Turner as a suspect after matching clothing and shoes from surveillance to what Turner wore in a Facebook Live video shortly after the shooting. Turner was arrested the next day at his mother’s home; police reported he had a packed suitcase and $332. Turner, who had prior juvenile court involvement for a first-degree robbery, was charged with second-degree murder.

Turner later pleaded guilty and received an 18-year prison term with nearly 12 years to be served before supervised release and a restitution order for $74,000. There was also a reported possible link between Goode’s death and another fatal shooting four days later involving people who knew Goode.

Did anyone in Saint Paul see the dice game or the car that pulled up that afternoon?
