North St. Paul police responding to a report of an assault just before 1 a.m. Sunday found two adults dead inside a home in the 2700 block of 2nd Street North. A 41-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were discovered in a bedroom, and authorities confirmed both had died. A juvenile was also found inside the home and was unharmed.
According to KARE 11, the North St. Paul Police Department said officers responded to the address around 12:43 a.m. on Sunday after receiving the assault report. The outlet reported that police found the man and woman together in a bedroom of the residence, and that both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Child Found Safe, No Danger to Neighbors
Police said the juvenile discovered inside the home was not injured, per the same report. Investigators also told the station there was no threat to the public following the discovery, though the station's account did not specify how the two adults died or what led police to respond in the first place beyond the initial assault report.
The station's report does not identify the two victims beyond their ages, and it does not indicate whether anyone has been arrested or charged in connection with the deaths. Those details remain unconfirmed as the investigation continues.
Recent North St. Paul Case Involved Hammer Attack
The discovery comes about two weeks after a separate, unrelated case in the same city drew local attention. On Oct. 18, North St. Paul officers responded to the 2700 block of Chippewa Avenue after a 911 caller reported that her son had hit her husband with a hammer, according to FOX 9.
That case led to charges against 29-year-old Jamal Jevonte Nash, who was accused of striking his 69-year-old father twice in the head with a hammer, FOX 9 reported. Nash was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with his father's death. The two incidents are separate cases with no known connection beyond occurring in the same small city within a few weeks of each other.
No further details about Sunday's deaths have been released. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
