On January 26, 2024, at about 12:24 p.m, authorities in Coon Rapids received a 911 call at a home in the 200 block of 94th Avenue Northwest
The caller did not say anything during the call, but sounds of a disturbance were clearly heard in the background, so officers from Coon Rapids, Blaine, and the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office were quickly sent to the scene.
When they arrived, they found three adults dead inside the home, and two young children, ages 2 and 4, alive but traumatized.
The victims were identified as Shannon Patricia Trejo, 42, Mario Trejo, 39 and their son, Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth, 20.
During the investigation, detectives reviewed surveillance cameras from inside the home and across the street as they tried to uncover what really happened.
It showed three men arriving at the house around 12:21 p.m., entering the home, and leaving seven minutes later.
Two of them were dressed like UPS delivery drivers, and one was carrying a cardboard box, making it look like a package delivery.
At first, the men knocked for a while but no one answered. However, when they tried to leave Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth opened the door, so they showed him a gun and forced their way inside.
Once inside, Alonzo Mingo held the victims at gunpoint and demanded money before fatally shooting Mario Trejo and his wife, Patricia Trejo.
Investigators also said another suspect, Omari Shumpert, was seen hitting their son, Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth with a gun, before shooting him.
The video documentary below, from Midwest Crime on YouTube, shows what happened that day.
After preliminary investigations, Mingo was arrested later that same day after being pulled over in Fridley.
Police say they found UPS clothing inside a backpack in his vehicle, which matched what was seen in the surveillance footage.
DNA evidence and phone records, later helped authorities to identify the other two suspects involved in the killings.
In early September 2025, a jury found Alonzo Mingo, 39, guilty of multiple charges, including:
- Four counts of first-degree murder
- One count of aiding and abetting first-degree murder
- One count of aiding and abetting second-degree murder
- Two counts of second-degree murder
Mingo was eventually sentenced to life in prison without parole.

According to CBS News, court documents revealed that drugs may have played a role in the killings.
Investigators confirmed that Mario Trejo was under a months-long investigation by a violent crime task force before the shooting.
Two days before the murders, on January 24, 2024, officers tracked Trejo’s truck to a storage facility in Golden Valley, where they found marijuana, meth, mushrooms, and white powder, according to search warrant documents, as per CBS News.
The records also showed the couple had been sending money to Mexico. However, authorities made it clear that there was nothing on Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth, the 20-year-old victim, and he was never part of the investigation.
The two other suspects, Omari Shumpert and Demetrius Shumpert, who are also brothers, have also been found guilty of six counts of first-degree murder each.
Demetrius Shumpert’s sentencing is scheduled for January 6, 2026 while, Omari Shumpert’s sentencing is set for January 8, 2026
The two young boys who were in the house witnessed at least one of the shootings, leaving them traumatized.
But thankfully they were not harmed, and they were later reunited with relatives days after the attack.
With Alonzo Mingo now sentenced to life without parole, attention turns to the upcoming sentencing of his co-defendants, as the victims’ families continue to seek justice and closure.
