MINNEAPOLIS — Richfield police said a disagreement between students led to the shooting outside a local school Tuesday that killed one student, seriously wounded another and left a third with minor injuries.
Police Chief Jay Henthorne and other officials shared additional details of the investigation with news media at Richfield City Hall on Wednesday morning. He identified two suspects arrested Tuesday night as Alfredo Rosario Solis, 19, and Fernando Valdez-Alvarez, 18, of Minneapolis.
Police arrested the young men at separate locations several hours after the gunfire outside South Education Center killed 15-year-old Jahmari Rice and hit another student, age 17, who was taken to HCMC by ambulance in critical condition and whose identity has yet to be released. A third student at the school, who is 19 years old, suffered "minor injuries" at the scene but was not hospitalized, and the chief said he was not sure whether the injuries were from gunfire.
