Man shot on light-rail platform marks 3rd homicide in St. Paul in 6-hour span

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A man was killed on a downtown St. Paul light-rail platform early Friday, the third homicide in the city in a six-hour span.

The homicides were unrelated — a man was found dead in the street in the North End on Thursday night and another man died early Friday after he was shot during a domestic dispute in Frogtown.

The latest homicide happened about 4:30 a.m. at the Green Line Central Station on Fifth Street between Cedar and Minnesota streets. Officers who responded to a report of shots fired found the victim on the platform with gunshot wounds. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
