A “career criminal” is facing federal charges in Minnesota after he allegedly went on an armed carjacking spree Thursday morning that ended when he slammed into another car. 

Prosecutors said the crash killed two women in their twenties and seriously injured a 6-year-old boy. 

Edward Tiki Arrington, 45, also known as Troy Mike Payton, attempted multiple carjackings and was successful in one, prosecutors said. He allegedly took control of a Black Volkswagen Passat at gunpoint and sped off against traffic through North Minneapolis, triggering a police pursuit at around 8 a.m., the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota announced Friday.

At one point, officers attempted to pull Arrington over, but he fled, driving towards downtown Minneapolis.

Arrington then grabbed her hands and demanded to know where her guns were, but the pedestrian said she didn’t have a gun, and he then released her before running back to the carjacked Passat. He allegedly sped ff and fired a shot out of the vehicle.

Arrington, who changed his name in 2015, has a long and extensive criminal history that includes state convictions for assault and firearms offenses and a 2009 federal conviction for possession with intent to distribute cocaine, prosecutors said.

Arrington has been charged federally with one count of carjacking and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He faces a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison and up to a maximum of life in prison if convicted. Carjacking resulting in death is a death penalty-eligible crime.

He is also charged in Hennepin County District Court with three counts of fleeing a police officer, all felonies.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara condemned the rampage and said the repeat offender endangered the public

“This violent suspect had an extensive criminal history and showed a complete disregard for the value of human life,” O’Hara said. “His reckless and violent actions claimed the lives of innocent people and put countless others at risk. We are grateful for the partnership with the United States Attorney’s Office as we all work to ensure that he is held fully accountable and that justice is pursued for the victims and their families to the fullest extent of the law.”

Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page for Casebolt states she leaves behind a partner and two children – a 2-year-old and a 9-month-old.

“Marisa was a loving mother and her babies were the most important things to her in the world, and now they have to learn to navigate the world without her,” the post says.
