A disgruntled migrant allegedly gunned down three staffers at his Minnesota apartment block in a crazed rampage after he couldn’t cancel his parking garage contract.
Tsegaab Binessu, 30, allegedly shot dead Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena Silcox, 56, and Adam Wilwerding, 43, at the complex in St. Paul, Minnesota, Monday,Binessu, originally from Ethiopia, wanted to cancel his $65-a-month parking garage contract as he had aspirations to join the Navy, documents seen by the outlet claim. He called staffers regarding the cancellation process, but they said he couldn’t opt out after just renewing his contract.
Binessu then told the workers he was going to go down to the leasing office – before launching his alleged rampage. He “went to the leasing office a short time after that phone call and he executed three workers,” the court documents state. He is accused of shooting Wilwerding, a community manager known affectionately as AJ, six times and Silcox six times.
Silcox, who was the assistant manager having worked in the office for almost a decade, reportedly screamed “No, no – no no” when Wilwerding was shot. She was shot five times in “rapid succession” before Binessu allegedly fired another gunshot, which sent her crashing to the floor, the court documents said,Fuentes Zambrano was found dead in a room at the back of the office – and she tried to escape through a window when she was shot.
She was found with a gunshot in her head. Binessu was arrested in Virginia, Minn. – around 200 miles from the crime scene – and reportedly confessed to the killings in a call with his roommate, who later called the cops. The alleged shooter told his roommate “he had argued with apartment management and ended up killing three people,” the court documents state.
Binessu was arrested driving Fuentes Zambrano’s car and he moaned that he “hated the American system” during his interrogation. He claimed he had been trying for seven years to bring his wife and kids from Ethiopia – but he had been stymied due to the immigration process.
“Binessu believes he was treated unfairly because he is black and an immigrant,” the court documents stated. “Binessu repeatedly said he has lost everything he cared about: his wife, his children, his business, his peace of mind. Binessu said life without his family no longer made sense. ”Binessu was charged with second-degree murder and is set to appear in court Wednesday.
He faces 40 years in prison for each murder. Tributes have poured in for the victims. Silcox’s devastated friends said she was someone with a “vibrant spirit” which “brought joy to everyone who knew her. ”“Dena’s children, who meant the world to her, are facing this unimaginable time with bravery and love.
” At a vigil held Tuesday, Silcox’s dad Robert described her as a “fabulous piano player,” while her younger brother Erik said she had “a fire in her belly,”Ashley Chester, who lives in the apartment complex, paid tribute to Wilwerding, saying he was loved by all of the tenants.
“They were just good people, really good people, and you can tell because there’s residents that’s been here for years, and that says a lot,” she said of the three people killed and those who attended the vigil in their memory. Ramsey Co. Sheriff's Office
