MARSHALL — A student at Southwest Minnesota State University was arrested Tuesday on warrants from Ramsey and Scott Counties, area law enforcement said.

Tyrese Alonzo Johnson, 20, was apprehended on the SMSU campus by agents from the Brown-Lyon-Redwood-Renville Drug Task Force and Marshall Police, according to a news release from the Redwood County Sheriff’s Office. Johnson had active arrest warrants for drug possession in Scott County, and second degree attempted murder in Ramsey County, law enforcement said.

A criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County alleges that Johnson fired a gun at an occupied vehicle in a St. Paul parking lot in April. One person in the car was wounded in the face, and another was grazed by a bullet, the complaint alleges. The complaint said Johnson was charged with second degree attempted murder, shooting toward an occupied motor vehicle, and two counts of second degree assault with a dangerous weapon.

A separate criminal complaint filed in Scott County in 2022 alleges that Johnson possessed Xanax pills without a prescription.

The Marshall Police Department worked together with St. Paul Police, the BLRR Drug Task Force, and SMSU Public Safety to apprehend Johnson, Marshall Public Safety Director Jim Marshall said Wednesday.

In a statement Wednesday, SMSU spokespeople confirmed that a student on campus was safely taken into custody by local law enforcement on Tuesday afternoon. The arrest did not pose a threat to the campus community, the statement said. The statement confirmed that the student was Tyrese Alonzo Johnson.
