The wife of a man charged with killing his New Brighton neighbor after a years-long deer-feeding dispute was charged Thursday in the shooting.

Paula Zumberge, 50, was charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting attempted second-degree murder in the Monday night shooting.

She was arrested late Thursday afternoon, New Brighton Police Chief Bob Jacobson said.

Her husband, Neal Curtis Zumberge, 57, was charged Wednesday with murder and attempted murder in the death of neighbor Todd Gordon Stevens and the wounding of Stevens’ girlfriend, Jennifer Damerow-Cleven.

Police say Zumberge killed Stevens when he fired a shotgun across the street at the couple about 8:30 p.m. Monday.

Stevens, 46, was pronounced dead at the scene. Damerow-Cleven, 48, was treated for her injuries at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis.

According to criminal complaints filed Wednesday and Thursday in Ramsey County District Court:

Neal Zumberge told Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators that the shooting culminated a feud with his neighbors that had been going on for 15 years.

Several days earlier, one of the Zumberges’ sons, Jacob Zumberge, 23, allegedly threatened Stevens and Damerow-Cleven at the VFW post in Spring Lake Park. He told them that he blamed them for his father’s Lyme disease because they routinely fed deer in their yard, attracting ticks that carry the disease. He threatened to kill them and burn down their house, across the street from the Zumberges’ in the 2500 block of Knollwood Drive.

Jacob Zumberge was arrested Monday after Damerow-Cleven ran into him again, at the Acapulco Restaurant in New Brighton.

His parents were angry about the arrest.

When Damerow-Cleven got home, Paula Zumberge approached her.

“You (expletive), you put my son in jail,” Paula Zumberge reportedly said.

Stevens, who was inside the house, came out to see what was happening. Neal Zumberge then emerged from his residence with a shotgun and opened fire at Stevens.

Paula Zumberge encouraged the violence, saying, “Shoot, shoot, shoot, keep shooting,” Damerow-Cleven told police, according to the complaint.

By the time police arrived, Paula Zumberge was gone. A witness said she saw a woman drive off in a white vehicle.

A 12-gauge shotgun was found in the Zumberges’ basement. Investigators found four spent 12-gauge shotgun shells near the front door of the victims’ house.

A medical examiner’s report said Stevens bled to death from wounds to his head, chest, abdomen and extremities.

Damerow-Cleven had obtained a harassment restraining order against Neal Zumberge in April 2013 after reportedly finding deer parts, dead squirrels and two dead deer on her and Stevens’ property, according to a petition filed in Ramsey County District Court. Zumberge also threatened to beat up Damerow-Cleven, the petition said.

Under the restraining order, Zumberge could not contact Damerow-Cleven or enter her property until June 2015. Zumberge has violated that at least once, Jacobson said.

The chief confirmed that deer carcasses had been found in the victims’ yard but said police were never able to determine how they got there.
