Teen arrested in Minneapolis Minnesota after killing a college football player in a double shooting

Post by Kira T. »

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - Matthew Lee, a 19-year-old football player at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, was killed in a double-shooting that left another victim wounded on Friday morning.

South St. Paul police have arrested a 19-year-old suspect, but no charges have been filed. The circumstances of the shooting remain unclear and the suspect has not been identified, publicly.

Police arrived at a residence to find two men suffering from injuries related to the shooting. Lee was pronounced dead at the scene, according to multiple reports.

Two hours later, they found a suspect nearby and apprehended them.

The team is now grieving the linebacker described by his coach as a 'big teddy bear.'

'Matthew was just a great kid,' St. Olaf head coach James Kilian told KTSP of Lee, who'd been recovering from a knee injury at the time of the shooting. 'A tragic loss because of the future that he had in front of him and the opportunities that were going to be presented to him.
