More than a decade after he was convicted for a fatal shooting that later led to a retaliatory attack, a St. Paul man is a key suspect in another homicide.

St. Paul and Maplewood police arrested Lee D. Murray, 30, of St. Paul on Friday afternoon in connection with the fatal shooting of Leon D. May, 32, in St. Paul on Thursday night.

Murray was convicted in the fatal shooting of a St. Paul teenager, James L. Lindorff, 16, in 1996. He served 6 1/2 years in prison for that killing and shortly after his release was nearly shot to death by the victim's uncle.

St. Paul police responded to a shooting on the 400 block of Jessamine Avenue E. about 11:20 p.m. Thursday. Officers found May had been shot, and he was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where he died.

During the investigation of the shooting, detectives determined Murray was a suspect and was hiding at a Maplewood home.

He was arrested Friday afternoon and remains in custody in Ramsey County. The motive for the shooting is unknown, and the investigation is continuing to see whether there are any additional suspects.

Murray was released from prison in March 2004. Several months later Murray was shot by Lindorff's uncle, in apparent retribution. Murray nearly died from the attack and spent two months in a coma. After waking up from the coma, Murray identified his attacker in a police lineup.

The defense is, "he was under mental duress from code enforcement condemning his home"!

From the article.

More than a decade after he was convicted for a fatal shooting that later led to a retaliatory attack, a St. Paul man is a key suspect in another homicide.

Hi All,

Murray murdered a young man with the last name of Lindorf at the SA that use to be on Front and Rice St.. Lindorfs are a family being spoken of right now under the topic "Citizens of Saint Paul -vs- The City Of Saint Paul"
Read Debbie Doolittles testimony under that topic.

The young mans uncle tried to murder Murray. He waits for him in prison.

6 1/2 years huh Repke? Another swell job done by the city to protect the citizens of St.Paul.

If I punched Dave Thune in his gap tooth smile I'd atleast get 10 years.

Try again Rick - that would be a Ramsey County Attorney (nothing to do with the City of Saint Paul). That would be a judge appointed by the Governor (in 90+% of the cases) and that would be STATE sentencing guidelines that ALL judges follow. It couldn't have been 1st degree murder that he was convicted of to get 6 1/2 years.

Remember the Judge that stole that "retarded" girls trust fund of almost $400,000.
"Judge" Amundson was a "Lawyer" before he was a "Judge"!
We cant trust Judges, and we sure the hell can't trust
"City or County Attorneys".

Susan Gaertner for Governor -- In 2010 I hope to be elected ...
"Sure" lets get another lawyer as a DFL Governor.

Pawlenty is a "Lawyer" and his wife is, or was a Dakota County "Judge".

Here comes the "Judge"!
