(KNSI) – New court documents have been released, shedding light on the fatal shooting that happened in St. Cloud on October 22nd.
According to the Stearns County Attorney’s Office, a stabbing in July had caused tensions between two groups. Antonio Carl Harris, Jr., was trying to negotiate a truce and had been threatened by Deionte Jaewon Parker the week prior.
One of the two others shot on the 22nd at a house party is believed to have been directly involved in the prior stabbing. Both of the other victims survived after being treated at the hospital. The party had sprung up after a night at the bar. The incident happened just before 4:00 a.m.
According to the complaint, witnesses say Parker walked up to Harris on the front lawn of a house in the 700 block of 6th Avenue South and shot him four times, including in the head. Harris died from his injuries.
Parker was previously convicted of 2nd-degree felony assault in Crow Wing County in 2020.
