Man charged in robbery, killing of St. Paul man walking home from work

A Minneapolis man was charged with murder Thursday in the robbery and fatal shooting of a 22-year-old St. Paul man walking home from work last week.

Arteze Owen Kinerd, 20, was charged with second-degree intentional murder in connection with the death of Alex Becker, who was shot multiple times shortly before midnight Dec. 27 in an alley behind his home in the 500 block of Lawson Avenue W.

Becker's family said he was robbed of his cellphone and cash before being killed in what was the city's 40th homicide of the year.
