A 30-year-old man has been charged with murdering three apartment complex managers in St. Paul, Minnesota, following a dispute over the cancellation of a $65-a-month parking contract, authorities said.

The defendant was identified as Tsegaab Ademassu Binessu, who faces three counts of second-degree murder with intent in the deaths of Nansi G. Fuentes Zambrano, 25; Dena M. Silcox, 56; and Adam J. Wilwerding, 43, according to court documents cited by Fox 9.

The discussion began over the cancellation of a parking contract

According to the indictment, the incident originated when Binessu requested to cancel the parking contract because he had sold his car.

The building's administrative staff informed him that it was not possible to cancel the agreement because it had recently been renewed.

Despite receiving that response, the man announced that he would go personally to the administration office.

Once at the location, he allegedly pulled out a firearm and opened fire on the employees. Investigators located 21 9 millimeter caliber bullet casings inside the office.

The Prosecutor's Office maintains that the attack was recorded by security cameras

Video surveillance footage reviewed by investigators shows the defendant chatting with Dena Silcox and Adam Wilwerding before the attack.

According to the indictment, Binessu lifted his shirt, pulled out a gun he was carrying in his waistband, and shot Wilwerding three times. As the victim fell to the ground, he fired three more shots.

Court documents state Silcox began screaming and repeating “No, no” before being shot several times. According to the Prosecutor's Office, the accused shot her five times consecutively and fired a sixth shot while the woman tried to walk away in her chair.

The suspect later walked through the office while shouting insults and headed toward a hallway out of sight of the cameras. There, according to investigators, a woman's screams were heard followed by four explosions. That third victim was identified as Nansi G. Fuentes Zambrano.

Shortly after the shooting, a man who had shared a home with Binessu since 2018 called police to report that the suspect had confessed to the triple homicide and told him he was walking to a police station.

The roommate explained to investigators that Binessu worked as a truck driver, although he had resigned two months earlier and had plans to enlist in the United States Navy.

He also indicated that on the same day of the attack he had sold his car.

Authorities later arrested Binessu while he was driving the vehicle belonging to Fuentes Zambrano. Inside the car they found a U.S. passport, a Social Security card, an empty firearm magazine, a concealed weapons permit, and what appeared to be newly acquired camping equipment.

The accused talked about personal problems during interrogation

During the interrogation, according to court documentation, Binessu stated that he felt frustrated by the prolongation of his immigration process and stated that for seven years he had not been able to reunite his wife and children with him in the United States.

According to investigators, he assured that this situation contributed to his divorce and the separation of his children.

Court documents also indicate that the defendant expressed that he felt he had been treated unfairly because he was a black person and an immigrant.

Likewise, he claimed to have lost “everything that mattered to him,” including his family, his business and his peace of mind, and stated that his life no longer made sense without them.

Binessu remains in custody while the judicial process continues.
