   Anoka County prosecutors are seeking to try a 17-year-old as an adult in the   
   fatal shooting of a 15-year-old in Fridley earlier this week.   
      
   Isaiah Harold-Stephaun Holmes was charged via juvenile petition Wednesday with   
   two counts of second-degree murder, as well as first- and second-degree   
   assault and first-degree attempted aggravated robbery. According to the   
   petition, Holmes fatally shot    
   Anthony Joseph Rouse while attempting a robbery during a marijuana deal Sunday   
   evening.   
      
   Rouse, from Blaine, died Tuesday night after suffering a "catastrophic injury"   
   to his brain due to a lack of oxygen and blood flow, a result of gunshot   
   wounds to his neck and shoulder area, prosecutors said.   
      
   The Anoka County Attorney's Office is looking to have Holmes certified as an   
   adult.   
      
   Here's what prosecutors allege happened the evening of July 18:   
      
   Rouse was in a van with two others around 7 p.m. Sunday when the vehicle's   
   driver said he wanted to buy marijuana. They drove to 61st Avenue and Main   
   Street to meet up with a person who had previously sold the driver marijuana.   
      
   During conversations with the seller and others at the scene, a male later   
   identified by police as Holmes appeared at the van's sliding door. He had a   
   handgun, indicated the occupants were being robbed and told the driver not to   
   yell or leave.   
      
   The driver hit the gas to escape. Holmes fired several shots.   
      
   The van's other occupants noticed Rouse was bleeding and drove him to the   
   hospital. Rouse was transferred to Hennepin County Medical Center where he   
   died about 48 hours after the shooting.   
      
   Investigators spoke to nearby residents, who described individuals matching   
   Holmes and the seller as heading toward or into nearby residences right after   
   the shooting.   
      
   Police also spoke to the seller, who said Holmes shot Rouse. He said he   
   watched Holmes raise a handgun — using both hands, at close range — and   
   point it toward people inside the van. Holmes fired two shots, the seller   
   said. When the van started to    
   drive off, Holmes fired three more, he told police. The seller said nobody   
   else had a gun, and that nobody had threatened Holmes prior to the shooting.   
      
   Police spoke to Holmes who said he was "aware of the shooting," but denied   
   being involved, instead saying he had biked home from a family member's house   
   after hearing gunshots. After being arrested, Holmes then claimed he had gone   
   to Cub Foods before    
   returning home.   
      
   Investigators looked at surveillance footage from the grocery store and Holmes   
   was nowhere to be seen. Video footage from a State Trooper who drove by the   
   scene just prior to the shooting, as well as from nearby buildings, supported   
   the seller's account    
   of what happened. Some video shows Holmes going to the van, positioning   
   himself, firing the shots, then fleeing.
