BELLE PLAINE, MINN. – The Scott County Attorney’s Office says two St. Paul police officers were justified in the shooting death of 29-year-old Seantrell Murdock in Belle Plaine, Minnesota.
Murdock was accused of fatally shooting local artist, 66-year-old Carrie Kwok, in St. Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood last September.
Officers confronted Murdock in Belle Plaine the morning after the killing and shot him when he displayed a handgun.
Murdock died in the hospital. Prosecutors said the use of deadly force was “necessary to protect these officers from death or great bodily harm” and that the St. Paul officers acted within the law.
