Shannon Jungwirth and the Coon Rapids Home Invasion Murders

The Coon Rapids home invasion murders took place on January 26, 2024, when three armed men posing as UPS delivery drivers forced their way into a family’s house on 94th Avenue Northwest in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, and shot Shannon Patricia Jungwirth, 42, her husband Mario Alberto Trejo Estrada, 39, and her 20-year-old son Jorge Alexander Reyes-Jungwirth. All three attackers were later convicted of first-degree murder in Anoka County District Court and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

How the Attack Unfolded

Two of the men wore UPS uniforms and carried a cardboard box to the front door, giving the appearance of a routine delivery. Surveillance cameras outside the home captured them approaching, and cameras and audio inside the home captured what followed.¹

Once inside, Alonzo Pierre Mingo held Trejo Estrada and Jungwirth at gunpoint and demanded money. Prosecutors said Mingo led Jungwirth into a bedroom and shot her in the head at point-blank range while two children under the age of five were in the room.² Trejo Estrada and Reyes-Jungwirth were killed by gunshot wounds to the head elsewhere in the home. According to surveillance footage, the Shumpert brothers killed one of the male victims and Mingo killed the other two.³ The attackers left after about seven minutes.⁴ The two young children in the house were not physically harmed and were placed with family members.⁵

Who Was Killed

Shannon Jungwirth and Mario Trejo Estrada were married and had two young sons, aged two and four, who survived. Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth was Shannon’s 20-year-old son and worked for a tree removal service; he was home that Friday only because his supervisor had told him the night before to take the day off.¹

How the Three Men Were Identified

Mingo, then 37, of Fridley, was the first suspect charged and was held at the Anoka County Jail on $5 million bail.² A pole camera across the street recorded his navy blue Nissan Altima parked in front of the home, and his fingerprints were on the cardboard box left at the scene. UPS uniform tops and a vest were recovered from a backpack in his vehicle.⁴ His cell phone, recovered after he threw it from a car during a traffic stop, had been powered off just before the killings and turned back on shortly after.⁶ Detectives also confirmed Mingo had worked as a seasonal UPS employee until mid-January 2024, less than a month before the attack.⁷

On February 14, 2024, prosecutors charged brothers Demetrius Trenton Shumpert, 31, and Omari Malik Shumpert, 19, each held on $5 million bail.⁸ DNA from a broken firearm magazine and loose ammunition at the scene included Omari Shumpert as a contributor, and cell phone records placed all three suspects at Demetrius Shumpert’s home on the morning of the killings.

Why the Home Was Targeted

Prosecutors described the crime as an aggravated robbery. During the 911 call placed from the home, dispatchers heard someone asking “where the money was.”⁹

Search warrants showed that Trejo Estrada had been under investigation by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crime Enforcement Team since October 2023 on suspicion of selling fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine, and of wiring large sums of money to individuals in Mexico. Searches of two storage lockers he rented turned up wire transfer receipts, vacuum-sealed marijuana, methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, and a bag of white powder.⁹ Authorities did not formally state a definitive motive. Friends of Jorge Reyes-Jungwirth said he had no involvement in any illicit activity.¹

Convictions and Sentences

The three defendants were tried separately in Anoka County District Court, and each was convicted of first-degree murder.

Mingo’s trial ran from August 11 to August 29, 2024. The jury found him guilty on seven counts, including two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and three counts of aiding and abetting first-degree murder while committing aggravated robbery.¹⁰ On September 11, 2025, he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.¹¹ A notice of appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court was filed on his behalf on December 3, 2025.¹²

Demetrius Shumpert was convicted on November 19, 2025, on all nine counts against him, including three counts of first-degree premeditated murder, three counts of first-degree murder while committing a felony, and three counts of second-degree murder.¹³ He was sentenced in January 2026 to three consecutive life terms without parole.¹⁴

Omari Shumpert was convicted on December 12, 2025, on most counts, including two counts of first-degree premeditated murder (aiding and abetting), three counts of first-degree murder while committing a felony, and three counts of second-degree murder. He was acquitted on one count of first-degree premeditated murder.¹² He also received three life terms without parole in January 2026.¹⁴

Why the Sentences Were Mandatory

Under Minnesota Statute 609.185, a first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence. The statute covers premeditated murder and killings committed during an aggravated robbery, both of which applied in this case.¹⁵ First-degree murder is excluded from Minnesota’s presumptive sentencing guidelines, so the trial judge had no discretion to impose a shorter term.¹⁶ As of early 2026, Mingo’s appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court remains pending, and both Shumpert brothers are serving their life sentences.
