MINNEAPOLIS — A teenager has agreed to plead guilty to the fatal shooting of a man in St. Paul that prompted a police raid in Minneapolis, where the teen's 22-year-old cousin, Amir Locke, was shot to death by police, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The Ramsey County Attorney's Office said Mekhi C. Speed of Minneapolis, who since the St. Paul shooting has turned 18, is pleading guilty as an adult in District Court to one of two second-degree murder counts and awaits sentencing, which has yet to be scheduled.
Speed's attorney, Paul Sellers, said his client has yet to decide whether to accept the plea offer, but "there's a pretty good chance we will end up that way."
