In Minnesota, homicide is defined as the unlawful killing of another person. This is the most serious crime a person can face. The state distinguishes three categories of homicide: murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, and murder in the third degree. Eden Prairie Homicide

Murder in the First Degree charge can be brought against someone who causes another person’s death while committing certain serious crimes, such as burglary with intent to cause death. It also can be charged in cases involving criminal sexual conduct.
Murder in the Second Degree is a less serious crime than first-degree murder because the offender intended to kill someone but there was no premeditation or planning involved. Second-degree murder may also be a killing caused by the offender’s obvious lack of concern for human life.
Murder of the Third Degree is defined under Minnesota law, as an act involving an eminently dangerous act without regard for human life. Originally, the state’s definition of third-degree murder solely included depraved-heart murder. In 1987, Minnesota lawmakers added a provision for drug-related offenses “without intent to cause death, proximately caus[ing] the death of a human being by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging or distributing a controlled substance classified in Schedule I or II.”
Although murder is the most serious charge involving homicide, manslaughter is less culpable. Murder involves the death of another person, whereas manslaughter either involves a death caused by an act in the heat of passion prompted by words or actions, or an unreasonable risk created by culpable negligence.
