Coon Rapids, Minnesota – A Minnesota man is facing charges for the alleged murder of three individuals after gaining entry to their residence by posing as a UPS delivery worker. Alonzo Mingo, 37, is accused of committing the murders without premeditation but with intent, according to the criminal complaint filed in Anoka County district court.
Prosecutors claim that Mingo, accompanied by two others, approached the victims’ home, where he was let inside after pretending to be a UPS delivery worker. Once inside, Mingo reportedly demanded money at gunpoint, leading to a tragic turn of events.
Security camera footage from inside and outside the residence supports the prosecution’s claims, showing Mingo driving his vehicle to the home, dressed in a UPS uniform. The victims, identified as Shannon Patricia Jungwirth, 42, her son, Jorge Alexander Reyes-Jungwirth, 20, and her husband, Mario Alberto Trejo Estrada, 39, were fatally shot in the incident.
Tragically, two children under the age of five were present during the violence and may have witnessed the horrific events. The defendant is allegedly captured on camera shooting a woman at point-blank range, with one of the children entering the room shortly after, crying hysterically. Law enforcement initially responded to a 911 call from the residence, where they found the three victims deceased inside.
Following the incident, Mingo and the other individuals accompanying him were stopped later that afternoon, with a UPS uniform and box found in Mingo’s vehicle, matching the prints found on the box. The defendant allegedly claimed to have been at home all day, but evidence and witnesses suggest otherwise.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging the public to come forward with any possible clues. The motive behind the killings has not yet been revealed, but new details have surfaced indicating potential illegal activities connected to one of the victims. The complaint also states that each murder count carries a sentencing potential of 3 to 40 years if Mingo is convicted.
As the case unfolds, Mingo’s legal representation remains unclear, as the county public defender’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Coon Rapids Police Department, Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, and Anoka County Sheriff’s Office are continuing their investigation into this tragic event.
