According to Wikipedia, third-degree murder in Minnesota is "without intent to effect the death of any person, caus(ing) the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life;" and manslaughter is "the unintentional killing of another person through an act of recklessness that shows indifference to the lives and safety of others, or an act of negligence that could reasonably be foreseen to result in death. The act that results in death may be intentional, but...not...(the)...death (itself)."

I tried to get more precise info from the Minnesota government site https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/ but their servers were jammed at the time. So I guess it's all over but the pleading down to criminal negligence.
