- Ramsey County prosecutors said Wednesday they will not file criminal charges against St. Paul Officers Matthew Foy and Eric Jaworski in the November 2024 shooting.
- The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension concluded the officers’ use of deadly force was legally justified after reviewing footage, interviews, and physical evidence.
- Investigators said camera video and witness accounts indicated 36-year-old Mychel Stowers had a gun, and a handgun was recovered at the scene.
- Squad video described by reporters shows Jaworski firing a rifle through the moving patrol car’s windshield and Foy firing after parking as Stowers lay on the ground.
- Police were attempting to detain Stowers on a warrant in his pregnant wife’s killing after a 911 tip reported seeing him near West Seventh Street.
