Two St. Paul police officers were cleared by a grand jury Wednesday of any wrongdoing in the shooting death of a suspected grocery store robber in 2012.
A grand jury issued a "no bill" in the slaying of Melvin Fletcher Jr., 20, of Brooklyn Park, who was shot and killed Dec. 17 by at least one officer after he allegedly robbed Kowalski's Market at 1261 Grand Av., according to a release by the Ramsey County attorney's office.
The jurors determined that probable cause did not exist to charge officers Theodore Mackintosh and Jeffrey Thissen, who both have more than a decade of experience with the department, and that their use of deadly force was authorized.
