Jul. 7—The victim of a homicide Tuesday in St. Paul was a 30-year-old man who was killed at his home, police said Wednesday.

The circumstances of Keifer M. Morgan's death remain under investigation, and no one had been arrested as of Wednesday afternoon.

Morgan's fiancée said he wanted to give their children, ages 1, 3 and 4, the best lives he could. She described him as loving and strong-willed, and asked anyone with information about his killing to come forward.

Police responding to a 911 call about a shooting at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday found Morgan shot in a home in the 1100 block of Pacific Street in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood. Police said Morgan lived at the residence, which is a rental property.

The shooting did not appear random, police said Tuesday night. Investigators requested that people with information call them at 651-266-5650.

Gainsbourg, whose late father Serge Gainsbourg is a singer-songwriting legend in France and beyond, has long tried to break away from the shadow of her famous parents. The 49-year-old said she first flirted with the idea of talking to Birkin on video to explore a certain reserve between them.

The deadly heat wave that roasted the Pacific Northwest and western Canada was virtually impossible without human-caused climate change that added a few extra degrees to the record-smashing temperatures, a new quick scientific analysis found. An international team of 27 scientists calculated that climate change increased chances of the extreme heat occurring by at least 150 times, but likely much more. The study, not yet peer reviewed, said that before the industrial era, the region's late June triple-digit heat was the type that would not have happened in human civilization.
