A man fatally shot in his South St. Paul apartment was a 72-year-old, the medical examiner’s office said Monday.

South St. Paul police responded to a report of a shooting about 8:50 p.m. Friday and found Michael M. Schille in his apartment on 12th Avenue off Thompson Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers located a 36-year-old man at the scene and took him into custody.

“It is believed that the victim and the individual taken into custody were known to each other, that this was not a random act, and that there is no ongoing threat to the community,” South St. Paul police said in a statement Friday night.

The suspect, who is from Hudson, Wis., is being held in the Dakota County jail on suspicion of murder.

Schille died of a gunshot wound to his head, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office.
