A man fatally shot in St. Paul on Wednesday has been identified as a 30-year-old.

Alfonzo Armstead died at Regions Hospital. Officers found him on the southwest corner of University Avenue and Arundel Street after responding to a 911 call just before 3 p.m.

A police sergeant on patrol in the area saw a man running from the area and took him into custody. The 21-year-old man was booked into the Ramsey County jail on suspicion of murder.

The Ramsey County attorney’s office is reviewing a case for potential charges against the man.

Police said Thursday their investigation is ongoing.

The suspect completed a three-year probation term last month in a December 2019 aggravated robbery case, according to a court record. He was charged with robbing a man of his cellphone, showing a handgun in his waistband, as the man left a downtown Minneapolis bar. He was sentenced to 60 days in the Hennepin County workhouse and probation.
