Two people residing in Hastings were arrested by the South Metro SWAT Team Wednesday and charged with the New Year’s Eve shooting that left a boy critically wounded in St. Paul.

Kelci Marie Meyers, 28, and Morris Robert Chie Ryan, 26, both listed their address as 3105 Malcolm Ave., where the SWAT Team served an arrest warrant and apprehended them. Meyers formerly lived in St. Paul. They are both being held in the Ramsey County Jail after the Ramsey County Attorney’s office on Thursday charged both with aiding and abetting intentional attempted murder, not premeditated; first-degree assault; and drive-by shooting toward an occupied building.

During a search of the Hastings residence, police found seven handguns, and two that fire the same caliber of rounds used in the shooting.

Meyers and Ryan lived near the house where the shooting occurred, but Meyers told investigators that she and Ryan had moved to Hastings and had no reason to be in the Frogtown neighborhood on the night in question.

According to reports, as a woman was making a video with her family to celebrate the New Year, gunshots could be heard. A shot came through a window of the home and wounded the woman’s 10-year-old son.

The boy was playing with Legos prior to the shooting. He was taken to Regions Hospital with critical injuries. He was struck in the abdomen by the gunshot, and it punctured his bladder, small intestine and bowel before exiting the buttock.

The woman told investigators she heard someone in the alley outside the home screaming expletives.

Home camera surveillance in the neighborhood of the shooting shows a sport-utility vehicle driving through the alley just prior to the shooting. The video picked up 14 gun shots. City closed-circuit cameras shows a SUV with two people inside matching the description fleeing from the area after the shooting, which occurred just before midnight. The vehicle plates show it was registered to Ryan.

A gas station camera showed the SUV pulling into its lot a minute later, with Meyers driving and Ryan in the passenger seat. The couple made a purchase at the gas station.

Cell phone data indicates Ryan’s phone was present where the shooting occurred and at the gas station, according to the criminal complaint.

Meyers initially told investigators she and Ryan were in Hastings on New Year’s Eve. She then said she took Ryan’s mother to the airport that night. Ryan claimed he was at his mother’s home in New Hope.

Meyers admitted to living next door to where the shooting occurred and said a cousin of the man she was dating had problems with the woman whose son was shot.

Meyer and Ryan both are being held on $700,000 bail with court appearances scheduled in early March.
