DaSeion Pugh was 19 when he was fatally shot on a summer afternoon in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The shooting happened around 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 24, 2017, in the 200 block of Aurora Avenue near the State Capitol. Officers found Pugh unresponsive behind a building; he was pronounced dead from gunshot wounds after what authorities described as a drug deal gone wrong.

Investigators arrested two people in the days after the killing: a juvenile male who was the alleged shooter and 19-year-old Merion Dontez Denton. According to the criminal complaint, Denton drove the juvenile to the scene, heard the shots, saw the younger suspect with a gun, and drove him away afterward. Items reported stolen during the robbery were later recovered at Denton’s residence. Denton was charged with six felony counts of aiding an offender.
