Man killed by gunman dressed as UPS worker wasn’t supposed to be home at the time of the attack
A 20-year-old Minnesota man killed during a house invasion by a suspect dressed as a UPS worker was a kind and caring person who was home at the time of the attack only because he had an unexpected day off from work, friends said.
A 20-year-old Minnesota man killed during a house invasion by a suspect dressed as a UPS worker was a kind and caring person who was home at the time of the attack only because he had an unexpected day off from work, friends said.
Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth lived with his mom, Shannon Patricia Jungwirth, and stepfather, Mario Alberto Trejo Estrada, in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. All three were shot to death last Friday just after noon local time, when a man wearing a UPS uniform came to their door and was able to get inside the home, prosecutors said in a criminal complaint. Two children under 5, who friends say were Reyes-Jungwirth’s siblings, were also at the house but they were not physically harmed, according to the court documents.
Reyes-Jungwirth worked long shifts at a tree removal company and normally would have been at work on a Friday afternoon, said Isaiah Mendez, a friend since sixth grade who joined the same company after Reyes-Jungwirth got him a job there last year. The night before Reyes-Jungwirth was killed, one of their bosses told him to take the following day off, Mendez said.
“He had texted Jorge on Thursday telling him that Friday was slow,” said Mendez, of South Saint Paul, Minnesota. “He definitely blames himself a little bit for what happened, but we all know that’s not how it is.”
“It’s very sad and super devastating,” he added.
