A criminal complaint says the three teens met with the victim, 17-year-old Tristan Robinson, with the intention of robbing him during a drug deal. The victim was killed when the teens fled, striking and dragging him with their vehicle.

The Anoka County court administrator did not immediately have an attorney listed for Gafner.
