Two St. Paul teenagers were arrested one day after being charged in connection with a fatal shooting nearly four months ago on a St. Paul thoroughfare.
Dejuan Hemphill, 24, of St. Paul, died 10 days after he was found shot on the late afternoon of Nov. 5 near Rice Street and University Avenue in the Frogtown neighborhood.
Kenneth E. Terry, 18, and Jehovah M. Nelson, 19, were arrested Thursday by a police SWAT unit and booked into the Ramsey County jail.
Terry and Nelson were both charged Wednesday with two counts each of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.
Both remained jailed in lieu of $2.5 million ahead of court appearances in the coming weeks.
According to the criminal complaints:
Terry and Nelson tracked Hemphill and two others for four blocks on University Avenue before Nelson shot Hemphill and then fled with Terry.
Hemphill was taken to Regions Hospital, where he died Nov. 15 from a gunshot wound to the head.
