Tuquan L. Smith, 32, was shot shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday next to the White Castle on W. Lake Street just west of S. Nicollet Avenue, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in Hennepin County District Court.
A 28-year-old Minneapolis woman was arrested and booked into jail later Sunday morning on suspicion of aiding and abetting murder, the court document read. She has yet to be charged. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.
According to the affidavit, someone in the back seat of the woman's vehicle fired several shots from a handgun and hit Smith sitting in another vehicle.
