Overview
- The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office said March 9 that Sergeant Megan Kosloske and Officers Melissa Leistikow and Christopher Leon acted within Minnesota’s deadly-force law.
- Investigators reported Tevin Marcel Bellaphant fired at officers at an Aldi, wounded two people at Destiny Café, and died by suicide after a 27‑minute standoff inside a Cub Foods.
- The BCA conducted the evidence collection and interviews, then forwarded its case file to prosecutors without a charging recommendation.
- A Ramsey County memo says Bellaphant used a black 9mm pistol with no serial number and fired a total of 20 shots during the incident.
- Officials noted the officers wore body cameras, were placed on critical‑incident leave, and that none of their shots struck Bellaphant or bystanders.
