Policeย received reports of a man who had been brutally stabbed inside a vehicleย on Thursday night and was lying in a pool of bloodย prompting them to respond.
On arriving at the scene, they started questioning other occupants of the car to ascertain what had happened but one occupant cameย forward admitting to having murderedย the deceased.
The suspect went ahead to produce a knife which he claimedย to have used to kill Mr Mainaย and was immediately arrested.
An eyewitnessย saidย the deceased was in the seat next to the driver’s while the suspect was behindย the wheel andย two ladies occupied the rear seats.
The witness added that Mr Kenneth pulled out the knife and stabbed Maina twice in the torso which was followed by a spurt of blood.
Paramedics who arrived at the sceneย rushed him toย Hennepin County Medical Center, where he later succumbed to the injuries.
The assailant will be arraigned in court on Monday to face second-degree murder, an offence punishable by close to 40 years in jail
