Overview
- Police found three leasing-office employees fatally shot after multiple 911 calls, with the killings occurring on Monday and recorded on surveillance video.
- Tsegaab Ademassu Binessu, 30, has been charged with three counts of second-degree intentional murder and is held on $10 million bail after a first court appearance where he was assigned a public defender.
- Investigators recovered 21 spent 9mm shell casings, say video shows the shooter chambering and firing a handgun, and arrested Binessu in Virginia, Minnesota while he was driving one victim’s car.
- Charging documents say the immediate dispute involved canceling a $65 monthly parking contract and quote the suspect making statements about immigration delays and saying he “hated the American system,” but those allegations are unproven in court.
- The victims were identified as Nansi G. Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena M. Silcox, 56, and Adam J. Wilwerding, 43, and a multiagency investigation is continuing as prosecutors prepare the case which carries decades-long prison exposure if convicted.
