MINNEAPOLIS — A short confrontation in a Richfield school parking lot among five students ended with one 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, each were 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 and remains hospitalized in critical condition at HCMC, according to the charges. A 19-year-old student suffered minor injuries, but Police Lt. Brad Drayna said Friday that the wounds were not a result of gunfire. The surviving students have not been identified.
