A gunman answered a rock-thrower with bullets at a south Minneapolis gas station and shot a teenager to death, according to charges filed Thursday.
Rodney D. Jackson, 27, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting late Tuesday morning at the Speedway at the corner of E. 25th Street and Bloomington Avenue S.
He was arrested hours later at a suburban movie theater and remains jailed ahead of a court appearance Friday.
Authorities have yet to disclose whether Jackson had a state-issued permit allowing him to carry a firearm in public.
The person who was shot was identified by the Hennepin County Attorney's Office late Thursday afternoon as Mohamed A. Abdi, 18, of Bloomington.
According to the criminal complaint:
Jackson and his girlfriend pulled up to a pump at the former SuperAmerica and went into the store.
When they came out, Jackson saw that his SUV was blocked by two other vehicles.
