Minnesota man acquitted of killing 3 people, wounding 2 others in case that hinged on alibi defense

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A judge has acquitted a Minnesota man accused of killing three people and wounding two others in St. Paul in a case that hinged on an alibi defense. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that Judge Kelly Olmstead on Friday (Sept. 15, 2023) found Antonio Dupree Wright not guilty on all charges. The 42-year-old Minneapolis man had waived a jury trial. Prosecutors had charged Wright with second-degree murder and attempted murder, alleging he was the masked man who shot the victims at a St. Paul duplex in September 2022. But the defense produced evidence showing that Wright was in Chicago at the time.
