ST. PAUL — The Ramsey County Medical Examiner today identified a man killed during an officer involved shooting incident that happened early this morning in St. Paul. Cordale Quinn Handy, 29, of Waukegan, Illinois, died of multiple gunshot wounds. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is investigating the incident at the request of the St. Paul Police Department.

At approximately 2:20 a.m. Wednesday, three St. Paul police officers responded to a report of a domestic situation involving physical violence at an apartment building on the 700 block of East 6th Street.

Officers encountered a man in the street, now identified as Handy, near the intersection of East 7th and Sinnen streets. At one point during the encounter two officers discharged their weapons, striking Handy. St. Paul Fire Department medics pronounced Handy dead at the scene. No officers were injured.

BCA crime scene personnel recovered a firearm outside of the apartment building and spent shell casings inside the apartment.

Three St. Paul police officers are on standard administrative leave. The BCA will identify the officers and release additional information once the initial round of interviews with witnesses and those involved is complete.

Once the investigation is complete, the BCA will turn its findings over to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office for review.
