St. Paul was shot multiple
times at 2:22 a.m. in the 900 block of Reaney Avenue in St. Paul,
near Erick’s Bar. He was taken to Regions Hospital, where he was
pronounced dead.
Investigators said Vick was working undercover, with a second
officer, Sgt. Joe Strong, when they came across two people in an
alley. That’s when Vick was shot several times by at least one of
the suspects.
Strong returned the gunfire, but it is unknown if either suspect was
hit by that gunfire. Other people said they heard 10 to 12 shots.
Police are searching an area on the eastside of St. Paul for two
armed black males. The first suspect is described as 25-30 years
old, about 5 feet 7 inches in height. He has very short hair and was
seen wearing a white shirt with black sleeves and black pants with a
stripe down the side. The second suspect is also 25-30 years old,
about 6 feet tall and 160-170 pounds. He has short hair, a light
colored shirt with a white T-shirt underneath and blue jeans.
A triangular area bordered by 7th Street, Interstate 94, Arcade and
Earl Streets is closed while police search for the suspects. The
closed area covers about one and a half miles. Police believe the
suspects fled the area on foot after the shooting.
Sergeant Vick had
served with the agency for 16 years. He is survived by his wife and
two children.

The easiest way for evil to triumph, is for good men to do
nothing....Edmund Burke. There are people who think that we do the
job to be heroes, or for personal gain. They could never understand
that it is about the person next to you.

It is abundantly clear that ALL of your fallen officers shared a
common thread - they were of the highest caliber yet modest and
unassuming in the approach of their duties. I believe that for as long
as such
men and women patrol your streets with such commitment and
professionalism, then you have much to be proud of. My heart goes out
to all the bereaved families, but be assured, there is someone in
"every" corner of the world who cares!
