Charles Anthony Hudson, a 31-year-old father from South St. Paul, was fatally shot on the evening of April 18, 2016. The incident occurred around 6:45 p.m. outside the Hamline Apartments in the 400 block of East Magnolia Avenue in St. Paul. Hudson, known affectionately as 'CJ,' was found with gunshot wounds and was transported to the hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Hudson's family has been left devastated and searching for answers.
He was a father to a 5-year-old daughter, whom he saw almost every weekend. His former wife, Brianna Henderson, expressed the difficulty of explaining his death to their young daughter. Hudson was originally from St. Louis and had moved to Minneapolis with his family during his childhood.
As of the latest updates, no arrests have been made in connection with Hudson's death. The St. Paul police have been actively investigating the case, interviewing witnesses, and seeking any information that could lead to the identification of the suspect or suspects involved. The police have not released any descriptions or names of potential suspects, and it remains unclear whether Hudson's homicide is connected to other shootings that occurred in the area around the same time.
The investigation is ongoing, and the St. Paul police have urged anyone with information to contact their homicide unit. Hudson's family continues to hope for justice and answers regarding the tragic loss of their loved one.
