Minneapolis man charged with killing his ex-partner, child
(Andover, MN) — Anoka County prosecutors are charging a Minneapolis man with second-degree murder in the killings of his estranged partner and her son in Lexington. Fifty-three-year-old Irving Marsaw is accused in the fatal shootings of 44-year-old Jennifer Marsaw and five-year-old Marzai Dawson early Wednesday morning. The criminal complaint says a child called 9-1-1 to report her mother and brother had been shot by Marsaw. He makes his first court appearance this morning (Fri) in Anoka. Jennifer Marsaw had earlier asked for a no-contact order against Irving because of death threats he made against her, but later asked for the order to be dropped.
