A man was charged Tuesday with fatally shooting his former girlfriend's current boyfriend during an argument outside a Minneapolis tobacco store.

Myshun S.C. Logan, 35, of Minneapolis, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree murder in the shooting early Saturday evening of 36-year-old Roland C. Hopewell in the 2700 block of Minnehaha Avenue.

Authorities have not been able to find Logan, noting his "last known location had [him] in Illinois."

According to the complaint: Officers called to GM Tobacco saw Hopewell on the ground with several gunshot wounds. He was taken to HCMC, where he was declared dead less than an hour later.

The woman said that she, her baby and Hopewell were leaving the tobacco shop when Logan pulled up in his car and started arguing with them. Logan got out of his car and shot Hopewell at close range before driving off.

She told investigators that Logan assaulted Hopewell two weeks earlier and threatened to kill him and her.

Logan is the father of the baby, and the girlfriend said she is pregnant with Hopewell's child.
