Travis Washington, a 30-year-old Black man, was shot to death inside his Minneapolis home on the 3500 block of Knox Avenue North on the night of June 16, 2016. Police responded after muffled gunshots were heard and found Washington on the dining room floor with ten bullet wounds; the Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide. His girlfriend discovered him and ran outside screaming while holding a baby. Witnesses reported seeing two men leaving the house shortly after the shots.

Investigators developed leads quickly. A 39-year-old man identified as Chris Scott, also known as Marcell Scott, was arrested after his fingerprints were found at the scene. A witness said Scott, Washington and the witness had gone to Washington’s home that night, an argument erupted, and Scott produced a handgun and shot Washington. Scott was charged with second-degree murder; at trial the prosecution presented fingerprint evidence, witness testimony, city surveillance footage and phone records. The jury found Scott guilty of second-degree intentional murder and illegal possession of a firearm after about three hours of deliberation.
