A man accused of shooting a delivery driver in Cottage Grove on Tuesday night has turned himself in, authorities say.
Otis Donnell Shipp, 48, of Cottage Grove, surrendered to authorities at the Washington County Jail on Wednesday evening, according to a post on the Facebook page of the Cottage Grove Police Department.
Shipp was charged Wednesday in Washington County District Court with attempted second-degree murder, Washington County Attorney Pete Orput said.
Cottage Grove police say Shipp shot a food-delivery driver about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in the driveway of a townhome in the 8700 block of Ironwood Avenue, where the driver was dropping off an order.
Citing the criminal complaint in the case, WCCO-TV reported that the driver was approached by an armed man who asked what he was doing.
Before the Uber Eats driver could answer, the gunman opened fire, shooting multiple times and hitting the driver in the left shoulder.
Neighborhood surveillance video showed the driver shouting that he was a delivery driver as he ran away.
The driver, who drove to a nearby Holiday gas station and sought help, was taken by ambulance to Regions Hospital in St. Paul to be treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening.
Surveillance video also showed a car following the driver. Investigators later determined that the car belonged to Shipp, who lived in the neighborhood where the shooting happened, and that it followed the delivery driver to the gas station, but did not pull in.
