More than a year after a Minnesota businesswoman was shot in the back of
the head and killed while driving home with groceries for a dinner party,
the teenager accused of murdering her at random will face charges as an
adult.

Melvin Dump Williams, 15 years old at the time of the shooting and now 16,
was charged Monday as an adult with second-degree murder in the shooting
of 34-year-old Yuliya �Julia� Li, a marketing executive with H.B. Fuller
who grew up in Kazakhstan and moved to Minnesota in 2007.

On Feb. 16, 2022, the St. Paul Police Department announced that it was
conducting a homicide investigation in Payne-Phalen neighborhood.

�Callers to the Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center reported a
shooting on the 1000 block of Payne Avenue at about 6:45 p.m. Officers
rushed to the scene and found a woman inside a vehicle suffering from a
gunshot wound,� cops said. �The officers rendered aid and called for Saint
Paul Fire medics, who responded and transported the victim to Regions
Hospital. She died a short time later.�

The victim of St. Paul�s seventh 2022 homicide was later identified as
Julia Li. The University of Minnesota graduate was married and liked to
listen to jazz while playing cards, according to the Star Tribune. Li
reportedly rose to the role of global business director at H.B. Fuller,
where she started working in 2017.

After the shooting, cops said that they were looking for witnesses and for
surveillance video from the area. The search for the evidence led to
investigators to a video showing a Ford Taurus driver pulling up behind
Li�s Mercedes-Benz and opening fire as the victim tried turning left at
the intersection of Payne Avenue and Cook Avenue, the Pioneer Press
reported.

Additional video from later on allegedly showed Melvin Williams� �clearly
visible� face as he got out of the Ford Taurus at the Cedar Park apartment
complex where he lived. Cellphone data allegedly placed Williams at the
shooting scene, as well.

Williams was arrested days after the shooting, but the teen with a
reported �lengthy criminal history� was not named until Monday, when his
case was moved to adult court.

A spokesperson for St. Paul Police previously told media that Julia Li
�was just going about her daily business when she was shot.�

�There�s nothing to indicate she knew or had ever interacted with the
suspect in this case,� St. Paul Police Department spokesperson Steve
Linders reportedly said.

Williams remains in the custody of Ramsey County. His bail was reportedly
set at $500,000.
