St. Paul man arrested in homicide that killed 21-year-old

Police arrested a 21-year-old Monday in the fatal shooting of a 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.
