   How about mandatory death penalty for repeat offenders?   
      
   ST PAUL, Minn. — Three men are now charged with second-degree murder in   
   connection with a fatal shooting at a light rail station in St. Paul last   
   month.   
      
   Metro Transit Police said Lamar Kastedell Thomas, 18, Markel Alauntae   
   Jennings, 18, and Markus Antwon Jenning, 22, are each charged with   
   second-degree murder in the May 17 shooting death of 23-year-old Kevon Ishmel   
   Ewing.   
      
   According to a criminal complaint, witnesses said there was a conflict between   
   opposing gang members on a METRO Green Line train. The complaint says the   
   three men each shot Ewing as he left the train at the Dale Street Station. The   
   three men fled, and    
   Ewing's body was found on the platform.   
      
   Police said surveillance video from a light rail car led investigators to   
   identify and arrest the suspects.   
      
   "I want to commend the work of the MTPD Investigations Unit who were dedicated   
   to ensuring justice for Mr. Ewing’s family and loved ones," Metro Transit   
   Police Chief Ernest Morales III said in a statement. "I’ve said it   
   repeatedly and will keep    
   repeating It – crime, especially senseless acts of violence, will not be   
   tolerated anywhere on our transit system or in our community."   
      
   “Everyone should be safe on our public transit systems and in our   
   community," said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in a statement. "We stand   
   united with law enforcement and with our community in doing everything we can   
   to prevent and respond to gun    
   violence."
