Yvonne Thompson, 41
MN, St. Paul
Yvonne was shot to death by her boyfriend, Freddie Bowen.
A dispute between Thompson and Bowen began in the back of her apartment building during which neighbors and witnesses reported hearing Thompson yelling, "Don't shoot me! Don't shoot me!" The dispute continued through the building toward the front door where there was more screaming, then shots and silence. Bowen then ran out of the building, down the street and laid down on the boulevard still holding the gun.
Police had by this time taken up positions around Bowen and attempted to negotiate with him. About six hours later, after all attempts to resolve the situation had failed, police began to approach Bowen who then got up with his gun pointed and police shot Bowen, who was dead on arrival at the hospital.
Yvonne Thompson had been trying to break off her relationship with Bowen.
