An Inver Grove Heights woman is being charged in connection with a robbery that led to a man being critically injured.
Marissa Brittney Walker, 29, is charged with first-degree assault and aggravated robbery, according to the criminal complaint filed Thursday in Ramsey County District Court.
Officers responded to the 1700 block of Thomas Avenue in St. Paul on July 28 on reports of a shooting, according to the criminal complaint. There, they found a 22-year-old with a gunshot wound. The man was taken to Regions Hospital where he underwent surgery for a life-threatening injury, the charges said. He later recovered and was released from the hospital.
Officers recovered an empty .40 caliber casing from the scene, the complaint said.
According to the complaint, Walker arrived at the address in a gray Pontiac to purchase marijuana. Walker got out of the vehicle and then two masked men with handguns approached the 22-year-old and two others who were there and yelled that it was a robbery, according to the complaint. One of the masked men then shot the 22-year-old.
The men also took $60, a small amount of drugs and an iPhone 11, and Walker drove them way in the vehicle, the complaint said. The man who was shot identified Walker in a photo line-up, according to the complaint.
The two others that were there with the man during the incident said they had known Walker for years, and that she had arranged to buy marijuana from one of them, the complaint said.
On Aug. 26, officers found Walker and stopped her driving near County Road E and Willow Lake Boulevard in Vadnais Heights. A passenger was in the vehicle with her, the complaint said.
Walker got out of the vehicle and officers located IDs with Walkers name on them, numerous small bags of drugs and .40 caliber handgun with five rounds of ammunition, according to the complaint.
Walker has a previous felony terroristic threats conviction that forbids her to possess firearms or ammunition.
