Man given long prison term for Minneapolis shootout that led to SUV hitting, killing teen

People in two vehicles were trading gunfire downtown before victim was struck

A man received a term of 24 1⁄4 years Monday for his role in a rolling gun battle on a downtown Minneapolis street that resulted in one of the two vehicles hitting and killing a teenager standing at the corner with her scooter.

Marvel G. Williams, 35, of St. Paul was sentenced in Hennepin County District Court after he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a gun possession count in connection with the late-night feud in the North Loop on Oct. 6, 2021, that killed Autumn Rose Merrick, 18, of Minneapolis, who was riding a scooter after leaving work outside a hotel near Target Field.

With credit for time in jail since his arrest, Williams is expected to serve about 143⁄4 years in prison and the balance on supervised release.
