St. Paul police carried out a search warrant Monday during an investigation into a missing 34-year-old and said a man started a fire and another fought with SWAT officers.

Manijeh “Mani” Starren, who hasn’t had contact with her family since around around April 21, remains missing.

On Monday just before 10 a.m., the St. Paul police SWAT team went to an apartment building at 89 Century Avenue North in Maplewood with a search warrant related to the Starren missing person case, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul police spokesman.

Police took one person out of an apartment safely, but two men barricaded themselves and one started a fire, Ernster said. SWAT members went into the apartment and put out the fire.

Officers got one man out of the apartment without incident. The other man fought with SWAT officers during his arrest, and two officers were treated at Regions Hospital for minor injuries. Police took the man into custody and he was transported to Regions for treatment for smoke inhalation and minor injuries, Ernster said.

Every part of this article is horrible, but this detail is particularly concerning:

During the press conference, Ernster said that police were also searching for 33-year-old Fanta Xayavong, who was last seen in July of 2021. A report for her was not made until May of 2023, and she was last seen with Jorgenson, possibly in Shoreview.

Maplewood man charged with murder in what prosecutor calls 'horrific case'

Prosecutors believe Joseph Steven Jorgenson dismembered his girlfriend, Manijeh "Mani" Starren, and hid her remains in a Woodbury storage facility.

www.kare11.com

''Investigators studied surveillance video, social media posts and ATM transactions, along with computer and phone activity to track down Jorgenson, according to court documents.
Video from an apartment surveillance camera located near Starren's apartment showed her running from her home on April 21, 2023. The video showed Jorgenson running after her, grabbing her, and pushing her back into the apartment. Prosecutors say there is no video showing Starren ever exiting her apartment again.''

''In addition to Starren's death, Sgt. Ernster said his department has reason to believe Jorgenson is connected to another missing person case. At Friday's press conference, Ernster said during their investigation officers learned of a possible relationship between Jorgenson and Fanta Xayavong, who was 33 when she was last seen in July 2021. A missing person report was not made until May 2023, police said.'

Investigators identified a person of interest, identified as 40-year-old Joseph S. Jorgenson, after a review of surveillance footage showed him entering Starren’s apartment after her disappearance and making no effort to report her missing, the news release says. The St. Paul SWAT Team then executed a search warrant at Joregenson’s Maplewood apartment on Monday and reported that he started a fire once SWAT members entered the unit.

Joseph Steven Jorgenson, 40, was charged with second-degree murder on June 30 for the death of Manijeh “Mani” Starren, 34, whose dismembered body was found in a storage unit in Woodbury, east of St. Paul. Starren, a mother of three, had disappeared April 21, according to a missing person alert. Jorgenson has not yet entered a plea, and the local public defender’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On July 7, police said in a news conference that they had found the remains of Fanta Xayavong, 33, in a separate storage unit in Coon Rapids, north of Minneapolis and 30 miles from the unit where Starren’s body had been discovered.

*****
In the spring of 2023, Jorgenson said he and Starren got into an argument. She asked him to leave her apartment, and he told court officials that he got upset and started hitting her. Jorgenson said he then choked her until she died and admitted he was trying to kill her.

Jorgenson said he then dismembered Starren’s body with a razor blade and brought her to his Maplewood apartment before moving her to a storage unit in Woodbury.

*****
As part of the plea deal, the state agreed to dismiss a third case in which he was charged with arson, threats of violence and disarming an officer when law enforcement executed a search warrant at his apartment in connection to Starren’s disappearance.
