Teen certified as an adult in April Minneapolis homicide | Man, juvenile charged in April Minneapolis murder | Man found shot to death inside of crashed vehicle, homicide investigation underway
Minneapolis police responded to a shooting at an apartment building on West River Road North in April. According to the criminal complaint, the call was updated to say that a car had crashed into the door to the underground parking and a man with a gunshot wound was found inside.
Davione Daunte Charles Collins, 27, had been shot in the neck, and court documents state he likely died instantly.
Investigators identified the two suspects as LaBrec, who was 17 at the time, and 20-year-old Jayce Nasir Cuff. According to court documents, they were helped by a third suspect.
A phone found inside the vehicle had been signed into LaBrec’s iCloud account, and investigators found messages referencing robbing someone for drugs. Marijuana prepackaged into “dime”-sized baggies was also found in the car.
Surveillance video from the night of the murder showed Collins’ vehicle parking on the west side of the building and two people approaching the driver’s side window. Court documents state that at one point, the two figures were seen jumping back and extending their arms as if pointing a gun. The vehicle’s brake lights flickered and the vehicle rolled forward while the two figures were seen running toward the apartment building.
Surveillance video from inside the building showed LaBrec and Cuff coming inside after the shooting, according to court documents.
Cuff was sentenced to over 16 years(195 months) in October.
