"Robert Spann, 27, was a 1989 graduate of the William Mitchell College of Law (now known as Mitchell Hamline) who served as president of the Black Law Students Association. According to his brother, Spann had dreamed of being a lawyer since he was a young boy "to help other people," and had been planning to take the bar exam. Unfortunately, tragedy struck before he was able to do so. Spann lived with his girlfriend, a Minneapolis city attorney, and her teenage son."
"Spann was shot and stabbed, and robbery was a possible motive as monetary items were taken from the residence, according to a cold case playing card highlighting Spann's case that was distributed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. "Today we remember Robert Spann and his loved ones," Alyssa Arcand, a St. Paul police spokeswoman, said on the anniversary of Spann's death."
