Charges were filed Friday after people entered a high school in St. Paul and assaulted a student. The student, 19, was in the parking lot of High School for Recording Arts on Wednesday afternoon “when a large group of people arrived and attacked him,” according to court documents. Officers were called about 4 p.m. to the charter school on University Avenue near Lexington Parkway.

Other young men ran to the front door just as he got inside and another staff member tried holding the door shut to stop the group from entering. The staffers “lost control of the door and the group chasing (the student) entered the lobby area,” where they attacked the student, said the complaint and petition. Police arrested Jovaun Warren Baymon, 18, of St. Paul, and two juveniles, ages 14 and 16. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office charged Baymon and the 16-year-old on Friday with aiding and abetting third-degree assault and burglary for entering the building without permission. Baymon threw a punch at the student and stomped on and punched him when he fell to the floor, according to the charges against him. The 16-year-old is accused of punching and kicking the student on the floor. The student was diagnosed with both a broken jawbone and finger, along with fractured and cracked teeth. School staff reported one of the people outside was holding his waistband. One of the suspects told that person to give him the gun. Officers found Baymon and two younger teens a few blocks away on University Avenue and arrested them.

Police later talked to a man who saw three males running in the area and who reported one threw a backpack into a snowbank. The man got the backpack and found it contained a handgun with an extended magazine. The backpack matched the one worn by the 16-year-old when he went in the school, said the petition, which also charged him with possession of a gun by a person under age 18. For the 14-year-old arrested, the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office said state law prevents them from providing additional information about the case due to his age. ...read more read less
