MINNEAPOLIS — A short confrontation in a Richfield school parking lot among five students ended with one of them fatally shot while running away and two others wounded, according to charges filed Friday afternoon.
Alfredo Rosario Solis, 19, and Fernando Valdez-Alvarez, 18, both of Minneapolis, were each charged with one count of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder in Hennepin County District Court in connection with the gunfire outside South Education Center that killed 15-year-old sophomore Jahmari Rice.
A 17-year-old student also was shot in the chest, was hospitalized and remains in critical condition at HCMC, according to the charges. A 19-year-old student suffered minor injuries from the incident, but Police Lt. Brad Drayna said Friday that the wounds were not from the gunfire. The surviving students have yet to be identified.
