   MINNEAPOLIS — A 21-year-old man is facing a second-degree murder charge for   
   fatally shooting another man in south Minneapolis last week.   
      
   The Minneapolis Police Department says officers responded to a report of a   
   shooting on the 2900 block of 12th Avenue South just before 2 p.m. There,   
   officers found 26-year-old D'Shawn Porter with an apparent gunshot wound to   
   his head. Despite life-saving    
   attempts, he was pronounced dead at the scene.   
      
   The criminal complaint filed on Tuesday state a witness told police Porter had   
   been looking to buy drugs in the area and was directed to go to the parking   
   lot where the shooting occurred. The witness had accompanied the victim to the   
   area.   
      
   Charges say the witness told police the suspect pulled out a "small piece of   
   crack cocaine." The criminal complaint states the victim then said, "C'mon   
   man, you know me," to indicate he wanted more.   
      
   The suspect, according to the witness in the criminal complaint, said he had   
   more in his pocket, but pulled out a gun and shot Porter. The witness said one   
   shot was fired. ShotSpotter also only detected one shot in the area around   
   that time.   
      
   The criminal complaint said officers used surveillance video and partial   
   prints to track down the suspect.   
      
   Police conducted surveillance on the suspect's home and at one point heard him   
   mention the word "shooting," charges say.   
      
   When police tried to arrest the suspect, he fled on foot but ultimately was   
   arrested.   
      
   Charges say that while in the squad car, the suspect started to "make   
   spontaneous statements" that were inconsistent with each other and other known   
   evidence.   
      
   In one story, the suspect said he and the victim were conversing when two   
   people approached and began shooting. In another version, he said a   
   "crackhead" tried to rob him and was selling drugs, then suggested he shot him.   
      
   In a post-Miranda statement, the suspect said he, Porter and a woman had been   
   in the alley when a vehicle pulled up and two men got out of the car and he   
   heard shooting.   
      
   Surveillance video that shows the parking lot where the shooting occurred did   
   not match the suspect's story, the complaint states. When confronted with this   
   evidence, he allegedly changed his story again.   
      
   The suspect's bail is set at $1 million with conditions.
