Overview
- Police who responded Sunday for a welfare check found three people dead inside a townhome on the 3200 block of 78th Street East in Inver Grove Heights.
- The Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified the victims as 43‑year‑old Jamie Lee Charles, 22‑year‑old Jaymison Samuel Shaw and 19‑year‑old Willie Samuel Shaw Jr.
- Inver Grove Heights police said preliminary findings indicate Jaymison Shaw killed Jamie Charles and Willie Shaw Jr. and then took his own life, and investigators are treating the case as a double murder‑suicide.
- Authorities say the scene was contained to the residence, there is no known threat to the public, and Police Chief Melissa Chiodo asked for privacy for the family.
- The community has set up memorials and a verified GoFundMe for the family, officials have urged use of mental‑health and domestic‑violence resources, and investigators warned forensic findings and autopsy results could change preliminary conclusions.
