00:00Just after midnight, Duluth officers were dispatched to Gateway Towers Apartments after

00:05getting reports of a stabbing and hit-and-run crash.

00:07What followed was a dangerous encounter involving multiple victims and a suspect who fled the

00:13scene.

00:13Suspects are living in another vehicle.

00:15I'm bleeding from a chest dude.

00:18I feel like I should be released here.

00:20Okay.

00:21I have a right to defend myself and you know it.

00:24I have a dude that is shining this guy in the face and his dog is barking at him and

00:30he's threatening him.

00:31Okay.

00:31Right outside Gateway.

00:33On Michigan Street.

00:35Gateway?

00:35On Gateway, yes.

00:36And what's going on?

00:39This guy is wearing a black jacket and he's carrying a water and he's got a hat on and

00:44he's threatening a resident here.

00:47Alright.

00:48He's flashing a flashlight right in his face.

00:52Alright.

00:53He said the Michigan Street side.

00:54We've already got a call.

00:55We'll get him over there.

00:57Okay.

00:57Please hurry.

00:58One 911 caller reported that a man had stabbed a woman and was attempting to flee the scene

01:03in his car.

01:04Another caller reported hearing one gunshot and seeing a victim on the ground.

01:08Multiple officers immediately responded.

01:11When officers arrived at Gateway Towers, they found a woman clutching her chest.

01:16She was bleeding profusely from a stab wound in her upper right chest.

01:20Despite the severity of her injury, she managed to tell officers he stabbed me.

01:24Stabbed.

01:25Right here.

01:25Where?

01:26In your chest?

01:27Yeah.

01:27Okay.

01:30I can't.

01:30Keep some pressure on it, okay?

01:31He just got ran over.

01:33Okay.

01:33Keep your pressure on it.

01:34I can't.

01:36Who stabbed you?

01:37I have an ambulance coming, miss.

01:38Alright?

01:38I want you to know.

01:39Ask them to know.

01:40I don't know the dude who lives here.

01:42Ask them!

01:42Okay.

01:43How many people were in the car?

01:43I'm bleeding out of my chest.

01:44I got an ambulance coming for you.

01:46It's just one dude.

01:47One guy.

01:48And he just hit him.

01:49I'm bleeding out of my chest.

01:51I don't got...

01:51I have an ambulance coming for you.

01:53Okay.

01:53Can I take my dog and go up to my apartment, please?

01:55Put him in my apartment, please.

01:56Put him in my apartment.

01:57I don't know.

01:58Just stab me in my chest.

02:00If you can take the dog, I can help you with the wound.

02:02Yeah, I can.

02:03Okay.

02:03Can you get the dog inside?

02:04I can.

02:05Yep.

02:05I can't breathe right now.

02:06Hold on.

02:06Okay.

02:07Okay, sir.

02:09Nearby, officers found a man who told them that he and the other victim were a couple

02:13and lived in the apartment complex.

02:16Earlier that night, they'd been confronted by a man who refused to let them into the building,

02:20claiming they didn't live there.

02:22He stabbed my girl.

02:23I started chasing him.

02:24Wait, so when did that happen, the stabbing?

02:27I didn't even know he did it until I seen it and she started screaming and he started

02:32running away.

02:33So, was that after you got hit by the car?

02:35No, I got hit after he stabbed her because I'm like, get in the car, leave dude.

02:40And he got in his car but he came at me.

02:44He was trying to block the door.

02:46Who was he?

02:47The guy that was in that car.

02:49Do you know him?

02:50I do not.

02:50He was trying to get in the building and this guy was flashing his flashlight in his

02:55face.

02:56Who was trying to know?

02:56The guy that hit him?

02:58The guy that hit him was flashing the light.

03:00Okay.

03:01Like through the front door?

03:02He was trying to block the front door from him getting in.

03:04With his car or with his body?

03:06With his body.

03:06Okay.

03:08So, then I pulled up and I stopped because I saw him and he was going to go fight him.

03:13And I stopped and I said, get off him, get off him.

03:15He lives here.

03:16And then he hit me with what, I don't know, but he hit me in the arm.

03:21Right here, as you can see there's a bruise for me.

03:23He hit me in the arm to try to back me off.

03:26And I said, dude, he's riling his dog up.

03:28And then she chased him.

03:30He was trying to go to his car.

03:31He turned around and stabbed her in the chest.

03:34Okay.

03:35A witness described how she saw the altercation escalate as the suspect shined a flashlight

03:40in the victim's face.

03:41When she tried to intervene, the suspect struck her in the arm before fleeing the scene.

03:46He was yelling that someone was just stabbed.

03:49So, no response.

03:50I'm yelling.

03:52Murphy City, mailed the dad.

03:54You know.

03:55911.

03:58Hello, this is Corey Bowen.

04:02I live at the Gateway Tower and two people just came in behind me.

04:08And I asked them not to come in behind me and they threatened me and said, if you touch me,

04:15I don't know exactly what they meant, but it seems threatening.

04:21How do they threaten you?

04:22I don't know who these two individuals are.

04:24I don't know their names before you even ask.

04:27How did they threaten you?

04:28He said, if you touch me, just remember that.

04:32Okay.

04:33That's what he said.

04:34He just came right in behind me.

04:37Didn't have a key fob, nothing like that.

04:41Got right in my face and told me that if I touched him or else, I better remember that.

04:47And where do they go then after they got into the building?

04:50They went into the elevator.

04:52Okay.

04:53And maybe where they went after that?

04:55Is it my job to follow them?

04:57No, I'm just, where are the police going to find them is the problem, is what I'm asking.

05:01Well, how am I supposed to know that?

05:03You want me to follow someone who's just threatened me?

05:06No, I didn't ask you to do that.

05:06Is that what you're saying?

05:08No, I'm asking if you knew where they went.

05:09That's kind of what you're saying.

05:10No, I did not ask you to follow them at all.

05:12I don't want you to do that.

05:14So...

05:15So how am I supposed to know where they're going?

05:17So then you just say, I don't know where they went, is all you had to say.

05:22Okay?

05:22All right.

05:23And can you give me a description of what these people look like?

05:25Were they male or female?

05:26How about y'all check the f***ing cameras yourselves and find out?

05:30How about that?

05:31They may not have access to those cameras at this time of the day.

05:36So if they...

05:36Well, maybe they need to get a warrant and check them then.

05:39Okay.

05:39Well, by the time they get a warrant and check them, it's going to be tomorrow sometime if they could

05:44even get a warrant.

05:45Well, I don't give a f***, dude.

05:47That's your job.

05:48Okay, well...

05:49How about that?

05:50Fuck off, dude.

05:51I'm threatening you that you could give me a description.

05:58A short time later, officers spotted the suspect still in the vehicle and engaged in a pursuit.

06:04Heading northbound on Interstate 35.

06:07Suspects are leaving in another vehicle.

06:10They were passing her in no-help caps.

06:13I think I'm behind that vehicle on the visex, going north on the 35.

06:2110-4.

06:25Yeah, there is a bystander pointing towards the viaduct.

06:28Where are you at, 4-7?

06:33Just getting on the 35, going into the toll.

06:4110-4.

06:4210-4-3-5 will be with 4-7 if the people want to go.

06:46So...

06:47Mister, have license.

06:514-7 will be with 8.

06:53It's going to put a key, Mary-Kell.

06:547.

06:57That looks like it.

06:58Affirmative northbound I-35.

07:02Oh.

07:04Oh.

07:05Oh.

07:07Coming up to 21st east of the bottom aisle.

07:16Let's see what's the plan here.

07:18We're going to see what's going on at the scene, but we'll knock it down.

07:23We just want more moves.

07:24We're heading to the south side of Gateway.

07:26We've got a female that is stabbed in the chest.

07:29A male that takes the car.

07:3310-4.

07:4010-4.

07:5310-4.

07:54Who's out of there?

07:54Just before the exit to 21st.

07:58Good work.

08:05Hey!

08:06Get out of the car!

08:06Let me see your hands!

08:07At this time law 3 is closed for the stabbing law 3 is closed.

08:08Officers were able to successfully stop the vehicle and take the suspect into custody.

08:13At this time law 3 is closed for the stabbing law 3 is closed.

08:16He was identified as 31-year-old Corey James Moen.

08:20When officers arrested him, they found he was bleeding from a wound on his forehead.

08:24Inside the car, police found a bloodied knife and major damage to the windshield,

08:29which aligned with the victim's account of being struck.

08:33Moen initially refused to acknowledge his Miranda rights,

08:36but eventually waived them and offered a statement.

08:38I felt like I should be released here.

08:41After having a medical see me here, then you should let me go.

08:46Okay.

08:47I did my best.

08:49So you don't want me to just give you a ride to the hospital and then we can talk there?

08:52Can I speak without being interrupted, please?

08:55Absolutely. I apologize.

08:57I did my best to protect this.

09:01That's the best I can do.

09:04You couldn't find a towel or anything?

09:07I'll double check again.

09:09I thought May would be here quicker.

09:11He said he acted in self-defense, that the victims had been aggressive

09:15and were trying to get in the building without keys.

09:17You're lying to me.

09:20I promise you.

09:21It might be in the call somewhere, but I'm in charge of you.

09:23I'm here to make sure you're okay.

09:25I'm still lying to you.

09:26So do you want to tell me what happened from your point of view?

09:29I was assaulted by three different people.

09:32Okay.

09:34The one guy had a swinging weapon.

09:39I'm not exactly sure what it was.

09:41Okay.

09:42I kept asking him to please stop.

09:45Please stop.

09:46This is going to be over with.

09:49I don't want anything to do with you.

09:51Please leave me alone.

09:53I don't want to fight you.

09:55You kept coming at me.

09:56You're saying he was blocking my car while attacking my car.

10:00He smashed my windshield in my face that caused cuts in my face.

10:05Okay.

10:06You really think I'm going to stop and let him continue?

10:09I have a right to defend myself and you know it.

10:13You know I have a right to defend myself.

10:16It's the law that I do.

10:17Yes, and if that's the case, then the charges will be dropped.

10:20There's nothing you can do tonight to change that.

10:21Why are they not arresting him when he assaulted me?

10:25Look at the stitches on my face.

10:26Right.

10:27There's also someone with a stab wound at another hospital.

10:29So if you want to puff your chest and get all high feet, I'm just going to put you in

10:32cuffs.

10:32So why would you arrest the guy that assaulted me, huh?

10:34What do you think that I did this to myself?

10:36Despite Mowen's claims, the evidence quickly began to contradict his story.

10:41Investigators reviewed multiple angles of surveillance footage.

10:44They showed the moment Mowen confronted one of the victims,

10:47shining a bright flashlight into his face.

10:49After an argument, the situation escalated, leading to the stabbing and hit and run.

10:54The footage confirmed that Mowen had driven his vehicle straight into the victim,

10:58striking him and causing significant damage to the windshield,

11:01just as officers had observed at the scene.

11:04Corey James Mowen was initially charged with two felony counts of second-degree assault

11:09with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor fifth-degree assault.

11:13He pled not guilty in July 2023.

11:16In September 2023, a jury found him guilty of all three charges.

11:21In April 2024, Mowen was sentenced to 18 months and 23 months in prison

11:26for each of the second-degree charges and 90 days for the fifth-degree charge,

11:31with credit for time he already served.

11:34His concurrent sentences amounted to a little over 15 months in prison.

11:39In Minnesota, most offenders served two-thirds of their prison sentence in custody

11:43and the last third on supervised release.

11:46As of publication, the Department of Corrections says he's expected to be released on December 9, 2024.
