Police arrested a 21-year-old man Monday in connection with the fatal shooting of another man in St. Paul.

Toumai Gaynor, 21, of St Paul, died Thursday after he was shot in the North End. Officers were called just before 2:30 a.m. to the 800 block of Simcoe Street, off Atwater Street. They found a vehicle crashed in a yard and the driver, Gaynor, had gunshot injuries to his head and neck area, police said last week.

St. Paul fire medics transported Gaynor to Regions Hospital and investigators were notified Thursday afternoon he’d died from his injuries.

Police arrested a man at his North End residence Monday morning on suspicion of murder. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office is reviewing a case against him for potential charges.

St. Paul

10 charging stations will extend EV network

St. Paul plans to install 10 public Electric Vehicle Spot Network charging stations on the East Side.

The network is provided by the city in partnership with Minneapolis, Xcel Energy and HOURCAR. Each charging station will include two dual-port level 2 chargers, with one dedicated to Evie Carshare, the Twin Cities’ all-electric carshare service, and the other dedicated to public charging.

This summer, construction of five charging stations will start near the following Gold Line stations:

• Mounds Boulevard Station (Third Street and Mounds Boulevard.)

• Earl Street Station (Earl Street and Hudson Road.)

• Etna Station (Etna Street and Wilson Avenue.)

• Hazel Street Station (Hazel Street and Hudson Road.)

• Sun Ray Transit Center (Pederson Street and Hudson Road.)

In the next two years, St. Paul will be working with the community to determine additional locations for EV Spot charging stations. This summer, residents will be able to share feedback on both the charging stations and Evie Carshare at both in-person and virtual workshops.

Oakdale

Vehicle stopped on I-694 hit; driver dies

A 22-year-old Maplewood man was killed in a car crash Sunday morning on Interstate 694 in Oakdale when he stopped his vehicle in the middle of the freeway and was rear-ended by another vehicle.

According to the State Patrol, the collision occurred at 5:55 a.m. on I-694 south just south of 10th Street. The driver, Cody Gerald Heidenreich, stopped a 2009 Nissan Cube in the center lane of the freeway.

The driver of a 2009 Cadillac Escalade, a 52-year-old man from St. Paul, rear ended the Cube, which sent it flying into the right ditch where it struck a light pole.

Heidenreich died and a passenger in his vehicle, a 22-year-old woman from Cottage Grove, was taken to Regions hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the Escalade was not injured.
