A man suspected of killing another man in front of his children outside of a north Minneapolis apartment complex last Friday has turned himself in, police said.
James Woodard, 32, was charged Wednesday with second-degree murder in the slaying of Divittin Hoskins outside the complex in the 1600 block of Plymouth Avenue N., authorities said.
Woodard is also wanted on a felony warrant from Scott County, according to online jail records. He turned himself in Tuesday afternoon and was booked into the Hennepin County jail. He's being held on a $2 million bond.
On the night of the shooting, Woodard crouched next to a garage behind the apartment complex and lay in wait for Hoskins to arrive, authorities said.
Investigators say that an as-yet-unidentified accomplice appeared to signal Woodard after Hoskins pulled into the parking lot.
As Hoskins and his children started toward the garage, Woodard ran up behind his target and fired once at the back of his head, authorities said.
It was unclear whether Hoskins had time to react. He died at the scene.
The children were not harmed, but were "hysterical" after the shooting, authorities said. They were escorted from the scene by acquaintances.
