Neighbors witness man "dragging a dead body" from Twin Cities apartment, police say
Police in Richfield, Minnesota, say a woman is dead following reports from neighbors who witnessed a man "dragging a dead body" out of an apartment early Saturday morning.
Officers were called just after 3 a.m. to the Fountainhead Apartments, located east of Best Buy's corporate headquarters off West 76th Street and Knox Avenue South.
Neighbors told police they saw the suspect load the body into a vehicle. Officers "attempted to initiate a traffic stop," police say, leading to a pursuit that ended about 2.5 miles northwest at the ER entrance of Edina's M Health Fairview Southdale hospital.
Officers arrested the driver, police say, and found an unconscious 23-year-old woman in the back seat who had been shot. She was pronounced dead soon after.
Police say they're still investigating.
