A Ramsey County grand jury opted not to charge two St. Paul police officers who shot and killed a man in August during a reported carjacking.

Yee Vang, 20, was killed Aug. 3 following a carjacking and chase by police, according to a police affidavit filed in the case.

The affidavit, which was part of a search warrant, said Vang crashed his car at Cook Avenue and Jackson Street, pointed a gun at a 72-year-old man and robbed him of his bike, fired shots at a passing car and then carjacked an SUV with two men inside.

Vang forced the men to drive for about two miles, until police pulled the vehicle over at West Minnehaha Avenue and Arundel Street. Vang got out and “instantly began firing the gun at officers who returned fire, fatally wounding Vang,” the affidavit stated.

The grand jury determined the officer’s actions were justified based on Minnesota law stating deadly force by police is authorized to prevent the escape of a person the officer reasonably believes has committed a felony “involving the use or threatened use of deadly force”, or who “will cause death or great bodily harm if the person’s apprehension is delayed.”
