A Maplewood man has died a day after engaging in a shootout with St. Paul police. 

St. Paul police Officer Michael Tschida went to the intersection of Marshall and Cretin Avenues around 2 p.m. Thursday after a woman reported that her former romantic partner was ramming her vehicle, had broken one of its windows, and was armed with a handgun.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension identified the man as Brandon Daleshaun Keys. The agency said that the 24-year-old died early Friday of a gunshot wound to the head. 

St. Paul Police Sgt. Mike Ernster said at a news conference late Thursday that Keys shot first and the officer returned fire.  

Tschida was struck in the leg and was released from Regions Hospital later Thursday. 

, the BCA said the incident was captured on multiple video cameras, including Tschida’s bodycam. Investigators recovered a handgun from the scene and are speaking to witnesses. 

Neither the woman nor the man riding in her vehicle was injured. 

In a protection order filed Oct. 25, the 38-year-old mother of Keys’ 5-year-old son told a judge that Keys had recently stalked and threatened her.
