According to the department’s public information officer, Mattie Hjelseth, the man shot and killed on Piedmont Avenue, Darius Handy, 33, of Duluth,  got into a verbal argument earlier in the day with Donald Felver, 30, of Duluth, who was killed in a shootout with St. Louis County sheriff’s deputies hours later on Grand Avenue.

A black Chevy Tahoe that police said was involved in the killing of Handy is registered to Felver.

Officers executed a search warrant on the Tahoe and recovered multiple shell casings that are believed to be the same shell casings found in a different vehicle Felver was driving during the deputy-involved shooting, according to police.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension ruled with “high confidence” that the casings at both crime scenes are from the same firearm.  A firearm was recovered from the seat of the vehicle Felver was shot and killed.

Duluth police are waiting on additional forensic testing with the ATF to confirm the ballistic match.
