Two victims identified from Minnesota shooting after celebration of life

Police in St. Paul, Minnesota have released the identities of the two men shot during a shooting after a celebration of life over the weekend. Three others were injured.

The two people killed following a celebration of life Saturday evening in Minnesota have been identified.

Larry Jiles Jr., 34, of Hugo, Minnesota, and Troy Kennedy, 37, of St. Paul, Minnesota, were identified as the two victims by the St. Paul Police Department Monday. 

Jiles was known as "Chef Hot Hands," according to a GoFundMe found by FOX 9. 

"I only met chef Larry once back in 2021 but he stands out as one of the people that inspired me to pursue culinary arts as a career. I could tell he put an immense love and passion into his work and it showed in his delicious food. May he rest in peace," one supporter wrote.
