On December 10, 2015, 23-year-old Kavonta Lashawn Pratt was fatally shot inside an upstairs apartment on Forbes Avenue in Saint Paul’s Uppertown neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 12:30 a.m.; Dominic Larrel Jasper, 26, was also killed and a third man was critically wounded but survived after jumping from a second-story window and being found on the sidewalk near West 7th Street and Smith Avenue.

Police say the attacker was identified as 24-year-old Jamaine Jamie Williams, who was described by two women at the apartment as the ex-boyfriend of one resident and father of her children. The women say Williams forced his way in, was armed, and had previously threatened to kill everyone in the house. Williams was arrested the same day and initially gave a false alibi.

Williams was charged with multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder, and a jury later convicted him. He received consecutive life sentences without parole for the killings of Pratt and Jasper, plus additional years for the attempted murder of the third victim. Does anyone have information about Pratt, his time in Saint Paul, or contacts who might help fill in details about his life?
