Police took a 17-year-old into custody in connection to the Jan. 10 fatal shooting of Otis R. Elder, 38.
A teen is under arrest and charged in a St. Paul homicide — the case that prompted police to carry out search warrants last week, during which a Minneapolis officer fatally shot Amir Locke.
Speed lived in Bolero Flats, the apartment building in downtown Minneapolis where police served the search warrants last week and where an officer shot Locke. Locke, 22, was not named in the search warrants, Interim Minneapolis Police Chief Amelia Huffman said last week. Police had “probable cause pick up and holds” to arrest Speed and two of his associates for murder and aiding an offender after the fact, according to the juvenile petition against Speed., but Minneapolis police said they would not execute the warrant unless it was “no knock,” after which St. Paul rewrote the warrant and a judge signed off on it, law enforcement sources said Friday.
Someone who was talking to Elder on the phone when he was shot told police “that it sounded as if Elder was conducting a drug transaction and that someone was sitting in the front seat of Elder’s car,” the court petition said. “… The witness heard what sounded like a struggle. The witness heard a male state, ‘If you do not give it up, pop the ******.’ The phone call then abruptly ended.
A latent fingerprint found on a door of the Mercedes-Benz was identified as Speed’s, the petition said. On Monday, Speed was located in Winona about 3:45 p.m. He was a passenger in a vehicle, which officers found at a gas station, according to Winona police.
