Charges will not be filed in fatal St. Paul stabbing
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Ramsey County Attorney's office announced on Thursday they will not file charges in a fatal stabbing that took place last week.
Officials say that they were unable to prove the suspect was not acting in self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt.
The stabbing took place in St. Paul last Friday evening.
According to St. Paul police, officers arrived to the 200 block of East Seventh Street around 5:30 p.m. They found a man laying in the parking lot of the gas station, suffering from stab wounds.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he died.
The suspect was at the scene, and officers took them into custody. Investigators believe the suspect and the victim got into a fight inside the store before the stabbing.
The incident is under investigation. The victim's identity will be released after an autopsy by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office.
