A woman with ties to Eden Prairie and a Bloomington man have been charged in connection with a south Minneapolis shooting that left one person dead and six others wounded.
Tiffany Lynn Marie Martindale, 30, and Ryan Timothy Quinn, 33, are each charged in Hennepin County District Court with aiding an offender to avoid arrest, a felony, according to court documents.
The shooting happened Aug. 26 near East 29th Street and Clinton Avenue, where police say a man armed with a rifle stepped out of a car and opened fire on a group of people gathered on the sidewalk. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified the man killed as Gregory Doyle Sweeten, 35, of Minneapolis. Six others – five men and one woman – were injured.
According to the complaints, Quinn and Martindale drove the shooter, identified only as “Bino,” to the scene. After circling the block, Bino got out of the car, fired dozens of rounds, then returned to the vehicle. Quinn and Martindale then dropped him off in north Minneapolis, the filings say.
Dash camera video and surveillance footage linked the car, a gray Honda Civic registered to Quinn, to the shooting, prosecutors said.
Court documents list Martindale as homeless, but Hennepin County jail records give her residence as Eden Prairie. Past court filings also listed her at Eden Prairie addresses.
Both Martindale and Quinn remain in custody on $250,000 bail. Their first court appearances are scheduled for Tuesday.
The shooting was followed a day later by another mass shooting in south Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic Church and School, where authorities said a 23-year-old gunman opened fire during Mass, killing two students and wounding 19 others, before dying by suicide.
