MINNEAPOLIS — Prosecutors have charged a Minneapolis man in a fatal bus stop shooting that happened over a year ago.

Jose Cippirno Dominguez, 18, was charged with second-degree intentional murder in the Dec. 21, 2022 shooting that left one person dead.

Prosecutors said Dominguez pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the head at a bus shelter shortly after exiting the bus.

Authorities did not provide the exact location of the bus shelter, but said it was in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis.

Surveillance video showed Dominguez and the victim "exchange words" shortly before the shooting, according to a news release.

Authorities did not identify the victim.

The video also showed Dominguez taking out his bus pass from a "distinctive wallet."

Investigators said Dominguez had that same wallet when they interviewed him.

The bus pass used by Dominguez was the same one the shooter used just before the shooting, according to court documents.

Investigators said they found clothing "consistent" with what the shooter was wearing in the video at Dominguez's residence, along with Dominguez's distinctive wallet.

Dominguez is in jail and expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.
