2 men charged in connection to Minneapolis death

Two men have been charged in connection to a fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

The Hennepin County Attorney's Office charged 23-year-old Lonnell Javey Powell with second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder late Wednesday. Thirty-year-old Tionne Gregory Hunter is charged with being an accomplice after the fact.

Minneapolis police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer says both are in custody.

Officers responded to a report of gunshots and entered a home early Saturday, where they found a 19 year-old man dead and a 25-year-old man wounded.
