Three people were killed at an apartment building in St. Paul, according to verified reports. The suspect, identified as Tsegaab Binessu (also referred to as Tsegaab A. Binessu), was arrested.

Binessu is 30 years old and is a migrant from Ethiopia, according to one source. Another source does not mention his origin. He is a former truck driver, though again this detail is not confirmed by all accounts.

The victims were staff members of the apartment building, according to one source. Police have described the suspect as a disgruntled tenant, as reported by one outlet.

The motive behind the killings is reported to be a dispute over a parking contract. One source says it involved a parking lot contract cancellation; another specifies a parking garage contract dispute. The exact nature has not been independently confirmed.
