MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Latest on the search for a man suspected in an armed robbery and homicide in Minnesota (all times local):
4:25 p.m.
A Minnesota man who authorities say is on the run after the killing of a financial adviser in her office is now charged with murder.
Prosecutors charged 44-year-old Lucifer Nguyen (wihn) of New Hope on Monday in connection with Saturday's killing of Beverly Cory.
Nguyen also faces counts of aggravated robbery, burglary and kidnapping.
Prosecutors say Nguyen went into a house in the St. Paul suburb of Mendota Heights on Saturday, brandished a gun at a woman and demanded cash. After crashing the car he was driving, he then ran into a senior living center and forced an employee into a laundry room.
Prosecutors say that while police were evacuating the center's residents, officers got a report of what appeared to be blood seeping from underneath an office door in a nearby building. Officers found Cory dead inside. An autopsy showed the 48-year-old died of a single gunshot to the head.
Nguyen is considered armed and dangerous.
