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. Inside they found 27-year-old Raven Gant on the floor with a gunshot wound as her two-year-old daughter stood next to her. 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.
