According to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office, Aaron Winfield Johnson, 48, of Minneapolis, died from multiple gunshot wounds on Sunday with his manner of death being ruled a homicide.

Robert Eugene Bostic, 50, of Mounds View, died by suicide from a single shot.

It appears Johnson and Bostic were at Bostic’s home, according to public records. No other details were given about how the two might have known each other.
