   MAPLEWOOD, Minn. — A St. Paul woman faces murder and assault charges in   
   connection with a hit-and-run in Maplewood that left one woman dead and   
   another injured.   
      
   Ashley Couch was charged Friday with second-degree murder and second-degree   
   assault, court records show.   
      
   Two groups of people agreed to meet at the intersection of Larpenteur Avenue   
   East and Dieter Street North for a fight Wednesday night after another   
   altercation earlier in the day, a criminal complaint states. Couch was   
   associated with one group, while    
   the victims of the hit-and-run were part of the other.   
      
   According to the complaint, the two victims were standing outside a car in the   
   intersection when a driver in a Dodge Charger turned onto Larpenteur, hit the   
   car and continued driving. The surviving victim was thrown into the air.   
      
   The other victim, identified later as 23-year-old Zakirrah Anderson, "had   
   catastrophic injuries to her body, that appeared to match up with being   
   dragged under a vehicle for an extended distance," investigators said. She   
   died shortly after arriving at    
   Regions Hospital.   
      
   Police arrested Couch Thursday after "a concerned citizen" called Maplewood   
   police and identified her as the suspect, the complaint states. The caller   
   also said Couch hid the vehicle. St. Paul police found the vehicle in an   
   alley, with significant damage.   
      
   "The officer on scene also noted that it appeared the driver of the vehicle   
   had intentionally tried to hide it as the rear license plate had been removed   
   and there were trash cans that appeared to have been placed in front of it in   
   an effort to conceal    
   it from public view," the complaint states.   
      
   Couch initially denied involvement. After being shown video of the   
   hit-and-run, Couch denied intentionally hitting anyone, a criminal complaint   
   states.   
      
   Couch has multiple previous convictions for crimes of violence and threats,   
   according to court records. She is in custody and set to appear in court   
   Monday morning.
