An exclusive tip to the JNS blog informs us that the MPD Violent Criminal Apprehension Team has made an arrest in the pre-Christmas murder of Brianna Jones.

Big Kudos to the MPD and their special ops teams like the VCAT.

Brianna Jones came home to 1518 Emerson to find her house was in the process of being burglarized. And she was shot in the head.

Turns out the burglar turned murderer was a friend of Brianna's boyfriend. Nice guy (sarcasm font).

The shooter lived with his girlfriend in St Paul.
