Minneapolis man charged in murder of his child’s mother

A court appearance today for a Minneapolis man charged with second-degree intentional murder in the Thankgiving night shooting death of his child’s mother. Officers arrested 41-year-old Randall Watkins at the front door of a north Minneapolis residence.

Authorities say the victim’s father and other witnesses told police that Watkins had previously beaten Gant and she had been trying to get away from him.
