Man killed in St. Paul police-involved shooting, BCA investigating
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – A man who was reported to be a wanted homicide suspect was killed in a shooting involving St. Paul police officers Saturday afternoon.
What we know
The scene of the shooting in St. Paul at Bay Street and Watson Avenue.
According to the St. Paul Police Department (SPPD), just after 1 p.m. officers responded to the 1100 block of West Seventh Street after getting an anonymous report that a homicide suspect wanted by SPPD, Mychel Stowers, was on a bicycle at a laundromat in the area.
Officers arrived at the scene but waited to approach the business as they worked to find out if Stowers was inside the building. Police say they did not find a man at the business, so officers waited.
Later, a man approached the laundromat on a bicycle, and the anonymous caller then called back and said the man in front of the laundromat at the time was Stowers, authorities said.
Officers waited for the man to leave the business, and around 1:45 p.m., he rode his bike south on Bay Street to Watson Avenue. That’s when officers “closed in” on him to determine if he was Stowers, law enforcement said.
As officers approached the man, he was armed with a handgun. Officers then fired their service weapons, hitting the man.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) will investigate the incident, and the officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave.
According to St. Paul police, upwards of six officers are currently on leave, and are either officers who witnessed the shooting or discharged their weapons.
Why was Stowers wanted?
Stowers, 36, had a warrant out for his arrest nationwide after he was charged with the murder of his pregnant ex-wife, Damara Alexis Stowers, on Oct. 19 in St. Paul. Stowers was also charged with first-degree carjacking and second-degree assault for allegedly shooting a man in the leg and stealing his car, shortly after the murder, which took place just two blocks away.
Stowers had just been released from prison months before the deadly shooting of his ex-wife, after serving time on a 2008 murder conviction. He is charged with second-degree murder and murder of an unborn child in relation to the death of his pregnant ex-wife.

Well-deserved PTO for the LEOs, and no one is shedding tears for Mr. Stowers.

Po-Po take a dim view of being shot at, pretty much like everybody else. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
Liberty has never come from government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance.

How does it go, something like: A scowling big man with a knife is not as scary as a smiling little man with a big knife.
Poor guy in St Paul, just wanted to wash his duds and go home. But NOOOOO, the po-po gotta bust his chops before determining if he’s an actual murderer or not.
BTW, did the police determine if the man they shot and killed was this Stowers they were looking for? The story doesn’t say.
The first part of the story talks about the man the police were stalking, and then shot.
The second part of the story talks about the bad Mr Stowers, without connecting the two halves of the story together.
Writers and editors……wha’cha gonna do?
Ex-PH2 would have broken her wooden ruler on some deserving knuckles by now.
If she had, I’d make her a new one from bois d’arc.
Long live the Lioness of TAH.
“The history of Liberty is the history of resistance” .
So says the Progressive President who passed many socialist laws. Hypocrite.
Good stuff
It was elementary that the perp was brought to bay at Watson. Hard to make a high speed escape on a bike. St Paul didn’t want him and neither will St Peter.
Flur-Ruh-Duh Man strikes again! Yepper…the PoPo do indeed take a dim view of folks shooting at them. And they know that they can get away with shooting back…even get a few extry days of paid time off during the “investigation”.
Odd that Mr Wilson spent his time as a young lad under the occupation/bayonet rule of Reconstruction, seeing the results of the suppression of liberty, and yet during his presidency was started some of the oppressive policies that are still with us today? Hmmmm
Beware the small man with the big smile…and the funny looking knife. You want him on your side.
That smiling little man with the funny knife?
He may just be the sole exception to the rule of not bringing knives to gun fights.
Yep, confirmed… Iraq to lower female age of consent from 18 to 9:

They never seem to have enforced that law before. Particularly if the children were from their own families.
Nine years old.
Just like Mo’-Ham-Ed (may he burn in hell) likes ’em.
Loves me a good sharp khukuri! My new-made ones:
Bishnu Prasad Shrestha brought a knife to a gunfight … and won. Another Gurkha expression: “It is better to die than be a coward.”

What the article does not cover is that Bishnu had been released from active duty and enroute home. After this incident, he was recalled to active duty, promoted to sergeant, and awarded the prestigious Sena Medal for Valor
