Prince Pope was 32 when a birthday gathering in Frogtown, Saint Paul, on January 26, 2014, ended in deadly violence. What began as a family dispute over alleged abuse of the brothers’ sister escalated when Prince and his brother, Rico Jackson, confronted the sister’s boyfriend, Damonta Jones. A friend of Jones, Leevester Rhodes, reportedly stabbed Jackson, wounding him but not fatally. Prince Pope intervened to protect his brother and was shot and killed at the Van Buren Avenue house.

Police discovered Prince dead and his brother injured at the scene. Jones, then 21, and Rhodes, then 24, were arrested within a day in connection with the homicide. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office opened a case based on scene evidence and witness interviews to determine legal accountability.

Does anyone who attended that party or knew Prince or his family have information that could clarify what happened that night?
