Overview
- Three leasing-office employees were found fatally shot at a Highland Park apartment complex after multiple 911 calls on Monday.
- A tenant, Tsegaab Ademassu Binessu, was arrested in Virginia, Minnesota and charged Tuesday with three counts of second-degree murder; he is being held on $10 million bail and faces up to 40 years per count.
- Charging documents say surveillance video shows the suspect drawing a gun and shooting the victims multiple times, investigators recovered 21 9mm casings at the scene, and a longtime roommate reported the suspect confessed.
- Prosecutors link the attack to a dispute over a $65-per-month parking garage contract and record the suspect’s statements blaming prolonged immigration delays and the 'American system' for personal losses.
- Residents held vigils for the victims and Mid-Continent Management said it mourns their staff as investigators pursue a multiagency probe and the case moves into the criminal-prosecution phase.
