A Minneapolis man fatally shot another man in St. Paul this week following an argument over drugs, charges say.

Contreal Teejuan Bush, 38, was arrested after the girlfriend of Terry Edwards, the man who was shot, and a resident told police they witnessed him repeatedly fire at Edwards near the intersection of Mendota Street and Fremont Avenue in St. Paul’s Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood, according to the criminal complaint filed Thursday in Ramsey County District Court.

The shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Police officers who responded to the scene found Edwards, 36, with a gunshot wound to his torso. Despite livesaving efforts, he died at the scene.

His family and friends told officers that Edwards went to a residence on the 500 block of Mendota Street that evening to buy drugs, according to the charges.

He reportedly left the residence unhappy with the drugs, and an argument ensued among him, Bush and a couple of other individuals, authorities say.

A man who lives at the residence told officers that he saw Bush and Edwards arguing over the drugs outside. Then, watching from his window, he said he saw Bush shoot Edwards, firing at him multiple times, the complaint said.

Edwards’ girlfriend, who was near the scene in a vehicle, said she heard two “pops,” looked up and saw Bush shooting at Edwards.

Bush was arrested in Minneapolis, though it is not clear when. In an interview with police, he told officers that he received a call from the mother of his child the evening of the homicide reporting that her brother had been killed, the complaint said.

Not knowing what had happened, Bush said he went to the area of Mendota and Fremont around 5:30 p.m. and stayed in the area for about an hour.

He denied knowing anything about Edwards’ shooting and then asked for a lawyer, the complaint said.

Bush has multiple “arrests and convictions” out of Cook County, Ill., for assault, robbery, drugs and firearm charges, according to the Ramsey County attorney’s office.

He was charged with one count of second-degree murder with intent.

He is expected to make his first court appearance on the allegations Friday morning.

No attorney was listed for him in court records.

Edwards’ homicide was the seventh of the month in St. Paul and the 21st of the year.

He recently moved to Minnesota from Chicago in search of a better life and often took care of his nieces and nephews, his sister said this week.
