In a chilling incident in Coon Rapids, 37-year-old Alonso Mingo has been charged in connection with a harrowing triple homicide that unfolded in a quiet residential home. The criminal complaint reveals a meticulously planned attack, with Mingo and two accomplices, disguised in UPS uniforms, entering the home under the guise of a routine delivery. The horrifying events were captured by cameras both outside and inside the residence, providing a clear account of the sequence of events leading to the tragic outcome.
A Calculated Attack
The exterior camera footage shows Mingo and his associates approaching the home, one of them carrying a seemingly innocuous cardboard box, a detail that belies the violent intentions hidden within. Inside, the reality of their purpose became apparent when a bedroom camera captured Mingo, armed and demanding money, confronting a man and a woman with lethal intent. In a moment that can only be described as heart-wrenching, the complaint details how Mingo executed the woman with a cold-blooded shot to the head.
The situation took an even more tragic turn when two young children, both under the age of five, wandered into the room, their innocent cries piercing the aftermath of the violence. The discovery of two men’s bodies within the home, one at the front doorway and another in an office, added to the grim toll of the day. The victims were identified by the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office as Shannon Youngor, her 20-year-old son Jorge Reyes Youngor, and her husband Mario Trejo Estrada.
The Aftermath and Investigation
In the hours following the shooting, law enforcement’s swift action led to a search of a storage unit leased by Trejo Estrada in Golden Valley. This search unveiled a cache of illicit substances, including mushrooms, marijuana, and methamphetamine. Further investigations at another storage facility in Egan, also rented by Trejo Estrada, resulted in the discovery of traces of cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine among the refuse, hinting at a backdrop of illegal activities intertwined with the tragic events.
Mingo’s arrest later that afternoon marked a significant breakthrough in the case. Evidence linking him to the crime was compelling, with the discovery of a UPS uniform in his vehicle and his fingerprints on the cardboard box used as a prop in the initial approach to the home. These findings painted a damning picture of premeditation and involvement in the brutal events that transpired.
This tragic incident has left the community in Coon Rapids reeling, grappling with the shock and sorrow of an act of violence that has claimed the lives of three of its members. As the investigation continues and the legal process unfolds, many are left seeking answers and justice for the senseless loss inflicted upon the Youngor and Trejo Estrada families.
