Two Men Charged in Cab Driver's Death

The Star Tribune http://www.startribune.com/467/story/990067.html reported that Brandon D. Cox, 21, and Willen T. McIntyre, 19, used a stolen cell phone to call a Green and White taxi Sunday. The two men had the intention of robbing the driver, Jim Moody, but according to the suspects as Moody was giving them the money he grabbed for one of the guns. Cox fired his gun twice and McIntyre once, killing Moody. The two suspects each were charged in Hennepin County District Court with second-degree intentional murder.

This Star Tribune article by Jim Adams was hard to follow. The structure and usuage of quotes made me read it more than once just to understand what had happened in the story.

The Pioneer Press http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/breaking_news/16654285.htm did a very general report of this story. The only information it added on the event was that it took place February 4 and that the suspects were spending the night at Shemica Thomas' house, which is where they returned after the incident. The Pioneer Press did report all the necessary information though.
