Samantha Burnette, a 16-year-old Minnetonka High School student, was shot and killed in an alley on the 700 block of Sims Avenue in St. Paul on September 25, 2016. The attack happened early on a Sunday morning; Samantha was pronounced dead at the scene and her 20-year-old sister, Brittany Rock, was injured after being pistol-whipped but escaped the car.

Four people were arrested in connection with the shooting. Vincent Harris, 29, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of first-degree aggravated robbery. Davonte Bobo, Christopher Calloway, and Kalisa Smith were also charged. According to the charges, Smith drove the women to the alley, exited the running car, and Calloway and Bobo then approached with handguns. Calloway is alleged to have jumped into the front seat and fired the shots; Bobo admitted involvement and Smith acknowledged she knew a robbery was planned.

Samantha was remembered by her school as a bright, ambitious student who wanted to become an attorney. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Samantha and her family?
