Was Terry Brown acting in self-defense when he shot five people at a St. Paul bar, one of them fatally? That’s what his defense attorney argued at the close of the 34-year-old’s murder trial on Tuesday. The prosecution said Brown’s actions didn’t meet the legal standard for self-defense. “You can’t create your own peril and shoot your way out of it,” said Assistant Ramsey County Attorney Treye .
Terry Lorenzo Brown, the second suspect in the shooting, is accused of exchanging gunfire with another patron, killing Marquisha Wiley and wounding 14 others.

A man involved in a deadly gunfight outside a bar in Minnesota has been convicted of eight counts of attempted murder. Thirty-year-old Devondre Phillips was convicted Thursday for his role in the October 2021 shooting in St. Paul that left one person dead and at least 15 wounded, including Phillips and another alleged shooter. Prosecutors say 27-year-old Marquisha Wiley was killed when Phillips and Terry Lorenzo Brown exchanged gunfire at the crowded bar near downtown. Phillips’ attorney argued that he acted in self-defense. Brown has also been charged, with second-degree murder and several counts of attempted murder. That trial is scheduled for April.
