(I wonder how long they will keep them in jail and/or what lesser charges
they will allow them to plea down to?)

ST PAUL, Minn. . Three men are now charged with second-degree murder in connection with a fatal shooting at a light rail station in St. Paul last month.

Metro Transit Police said Lamar Kastedell Thomas, 18, Markel Alauntae Jennings, 18, and Markus Antwon Jenning, 22, are each charged with second-degree murder in the May 17 shooting death of 23-year-old Kevon Ishmel Ewing.

According to a criminal complaint, witnesses said there was a conflict between opposing gang members on a METRO Green Line train. The complaint says the three men each shot Ewing as he left the train at the Dale Street Station. The three men fled, and Ewing's body was found on the platform.

Police said surveillance video from a light rail car led investigators to identify and arrest the suspects.

"I want to commend the work of the MTPD Investigations Unit who were dedicated to ensuring justice for Mr. Ewing's family and loved ones," Metro Transit Police Chief Ernest Morales III said in a statement. "I've said it repeatedly and will keep repeating It - crime, especially senseless acts of violence,
will not be tolerated anywhere on our transit system or in our community."

"Everyone should be safe on our public transit systems and in our community," said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in a statement. "We stand united with law enforcement and with our community in doing everything we can to prevent and respond to gun violence."
