18-year-old shot to death on Memorial Day in Robbinsdale is identified
Officials have released the identity of an 18-year-old who was shot to death on Memorial Day in Robbinsdale.
Tycorian J. Estes, of Robbinsdale, was shot multiple times about 1 p.m. on May 29 in the 3300 block of N. Grimes Avenue and died on June 1 at North Memorial Health Hospital, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office said Tuesday.
Anthony Guerrero, 17, of Brooklyn Park has been charged in juvenile court with second-degree unintentional murder and illegal weapons possession in connection with the shooting. The County Attorney’s Office has said it intends to request that Guerrero’s case be moved to adult court.
A 14-year-old boy has also been charged as an accomplice, but that case is not public because of his age.
According to the charges against Guerrero:
Officers arrived to find Estes on the ground near an alley. He had no pulse and was not breathing. Two women were applying pressure to a gunshot wound on his neck. The officers provided immediate medical aid before he was taken to North Memorial.
One of the women said she saw a silver vehicle leave the alley following the shooting. Other officers nearby saw a small SUV traveling speeding on N. 36th Avenue and running a red light.
The vehicle stopped on its own on Hwy. 100, and the officers arrested Guerrero, who was driving, and his 14-year-old passenger. Officers found a 9-millimeter handgun in the glovebox and ammunition on the car floor, including an extended magazine. A spent 9mm casing was found in the pocket of Guerrero’s sweatshirt.
The 14-year-old told officers he helped arrange an exchange of guns between Guerrero and Estes that morning. Guerrero and Estes had a disagreement while Guerrero was holding a gun. The 14-year-old also said Estes tried to take the gun from Guerrero by placing him in a headlock before Guerrero shot twice, hitting Estes in the neck and stomach.

A 63-year-old Eveleth man died from injuries suffered in a house fire in the northern Minnesota city Friday morning.
Dale Wallander of rural Eveleth was found with burns covering most of his body at the end of the driveway to his house in the 7100 block of Antoinette Road in Eveleth at about 11:26 a.m. Friday, according to a press release from the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office.
Law enforcement arrived to find his house engulfed in flames. Wallander was transported to a metro area hospital by Life Link air medical service, but died of his injuries, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the State Fire Marshal.
Brooklyn Park police arrested two people Saturday in connection with an early-morning shooting that left one man dead.
Police responded to a shooting in the 7900 block of Lee Avenue North at about 4:36 a.m. Saturday, and found a man with a gunshot wound, according to a Brooklyn Park Police Department press release. The man was pronounced dead at the scene and hasn’t yet been identified.
Later Saturday, Brooklyn Park detectives arrested two suspects who are being held at the Hennepin County Jail, according to police.
“We passed three of them and we did it [in a] bipartisan [way],” said Walz, who represented southern Minnesota in Congress for a dozen years before running for governor.

Following the event, Walz’s motorcade wound its way north and east across farm country, past combines in fields harvesting corn, to downtown Sleepy Eye, where he slipped into a crowded brewery. In many ways, the trip resembled any year for a pheasant opener, save this time the motorcade, a dozen vehicles long, stretched out the back side of a downtown Sleepy Eye alleyway.
One patron, who declined to give her name but said she grew up in Madelia and lived in New Ulm, was purchasing a six-pack of beers when she told the bartender, “Is that Walz? I don’t got time for that guy.”
Later, when Walz briefly emerged from a side room, a chorus of cheers reached him from the balcony, before he hustled out to the motorcade.
