Adam Meffert, 44, of St. Paul, was walking in the center of the street about a half-mile east of the Lafayette Bridge when he was struck by a motorcycle at about 10:10 p.m., according to a witness statement, said police spokesman Steve Linders.
Meffert died at the scene. The motorcyclist, identified by police as Robert Nguyen, 50, of Minneapolis, also died at the scene.
A witness told officers the motorcyclist was driving west on Warner Road in the left lane when he collided with a man. The witness stopped and called 911 after hearing something hit his car, Linders said.
The St. Paul Police Department's traffic and pedestrian safety and forensic services unit held the witness' car at the scene so it could be processed for evidence, Linders said.
The crash remains under investigation.
