lending to the successful prosecution and conviction of individuals.

0n 1/10/2022 at 2133 hours Saint Paul Police Officers responded to 502 Prior Avenue North
on a report of a male being shot. Witnesses near the scene called 911 and reported a man
was laying near a vehicle, later identified as WI license 651-)(XC (2001 Chevrolet Tahoe,
black, VIN: lGNEK13T91R145330)). Saint Paul Fire Department Medics responded to the
scene and located a victim with a gunshot wound to his body. The victim was later identified
as OTIS RODNEY ELDER (dob 04/03/1983). ELDER was transported to Regions Hospital
where he was pronounced deceased. Money, a pill, and suspected marijuana were seen in
the front seat area of the vehicle and money was also found on the street near the vehicle.
The vehicle also had what appeared to be blood and blood spatter in the front seat area. A
spent shell casing was also located on the ground near the vehicle.

Officers also identified potential witnesses on scene. Two of the witnesses hereinafter
described as C.L. and X.B. were brought to Saint Paul Police Headquarters for interviews.
Your Affiant spoke with C.L. and he stated he operates a recording studio at 502 Prior
Avenue North. X.B. met him there on 01/10/2022 at 2030 hours to do a music recording. At
approximately 2130 hours C.L. heard what sounded like a gunshot. He and X.B. went outside
and found ELDER on the ground near WI 651-XXC and suffering from an apparent gunshot
wound. Nothing else was seen or heard according to C.L.

Investigators spoke with a witness hereinafter referred to as R.B. over the phone. R.B. told
investigators that he was on the phone with ELDER during the incident and believed he
heard the homicide occur. R.B. reported hearing ELDER tell someone not to get in the back
of his vehicle and to wait until he was done dealing with the person in the vehicle. R.B.
stated he believed ELDER had been selling drugs to someone in the car when another person
tried to get in the backseat. R.B. then heard a struggle on the phone, and he heard someone
say, "pop this nigger if he ain't gonna give it up.” R.B. stated the phone went ”dead" and he
tried to call back ELDER numerous times, but the phone would go straight to voicemail.

Your Affiant reviewed surveillance footage in the area of the incident. Prior to the incident
two other vehicles can be seen near ELDER’s vehicle. One of the vehicles was a dark BMW
and the other vehicle was a light-colored Mercedes. After the incident, the Mercedes is seen
fleeing at a high rate of speed northbound on Prior to westbound University. Additional
video footage showed the incident and included audio of a gunshot. There were two persons
at ELDER’s vehicle when the gunshot is heard. Both persons run to the Mercedes after the
incident. One of the suspects is wearing a dark jacket and a gray hooded sweatshirt,
hereinafter described as suspect #1. The other suspect is wearing all dark clothing,
hereinafter described as suspect #2. Suspect #2 enters the right front passenger side of
ELDER’s vehicle as suspect #1 stays outside the vehicle. At one point the suspect #1 moves
toward the driver’s side door of ELDER’s vehicle. Suspect #1 is then seen taking a step back
and a gunshot is heard. The right front passenger door opens and suspect #1 appears to

from inside the vehicle and from the ground around the vehicle. Suspect #1 then runs
southbound to the Mercedes and is joined by suspect #2 at the rear of ELDER’s vehicle.

Members of the St. Paul Police Special Investigations Unit (SIU) reviewed additional video
evidence collected and tracked the Mercedes traveling via I-94 westbound to the Grant/11th
exit in Minneapolis and stopped at 1117 South Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, MN.

The SPPD Forensic Services Unit processed ELDER’s vehicle and recovered a latent fingerprint
that matched a MNBCA file to a male named Mujahid-Deen Samir ABDUL-AZIZ
(08/27/1996). ABDUL-AZIZ shares an address with the registered owner of MN plate 534UYL
(2016 silver Ford Fusion), which received a parking ticket on 09/09/2021at 1121 Marquette
Ave, near the Bolero Flats. Also, on 09/09/2021, Isaak Ibrahim ROBE was cited in that same
vehicle (MN plate 534UYL) for driving after revocation.

On 01/21/2022 the Mercedes (Massachusetts plate - 9AD213) was located by an off-duty

University of Minnesota police officer in the Leamington parking ramp at 1001 2nd Avenue
South, Minneapolis, MN. The officer recognized the vehicle from an alert issued to law
enforcement prior to 01/21/2022. The vehicle was secured and towed to the Saint Paul

entrance of the Bolero Flats.

Your Affiant and Sgt. Skog returned to the Bolero Flats and watched surveillance footage of
the suspects with staff. Staff believed the suspect with the dark coat and gray hooded
sweatshirt was associated with apartment 701. A subsequent check of police records related
to the apartment provided the name of Mekhi Camden SPEED (dob 03/11/2004). Staff
informed us SPEED had requested a fob for that apartment in the past. SPEED was
transported by Minneapolis Fire Department medics from the apartment on 01/22/2022.
SPEED matches the suspect wearing the dark jacket and gray hooded sweatshirt. Bolero staff
informed us that apartment 701 is rented by Tatyana Alexus HENDERSON
(Dob:06/06/1999), and they noted a boyfriend lilies with HENDERSON. Bolero staff stated
there have been several police calls to this apartment. A search of Minneapolis Police reports
for apartment 701 shows that the boyfriend to HENDERSON is Marlon Cornelius SPEED Jr
(Dob:12/7/1998). A search of law enforcement databases showed that Marlon SPEED and
Mekhi SPEED are brothers.

We checked with Hennepin County probation and were told Mekhi SPEED uses the address
of 1117 South Marquette Avenue, apartment 1402 as his home address. Staff informed us
the female renter of that apartment lists Mekhi SPEED as a child who lives with her.

investigation, investigators learned that the suspects were attempting to rob the victim of
money and/or drugs. A large amount of cash was found outside and inside the victim’s
vehicle as well as some narcotics were located in the vehicle. Your Affiant is asking to search
for controlled substances and US currency which may have been taken from the victim
during this homicide.

Your Affiant is asking the courts permission to collect cellular phones, communication
devices, tablets and lpads. Affiant Zebro is aware through training and experience that
people communicate via cellphones. Individuals also use social media including but not
limited to SnapChat, Facebook, lnstagram, Twitter, and other social websites to send and
receive messages, photographs, and communicate in other ways. Often times these social
websites can be accessed via cellphone, but also through tablets, computers, and other
devices. Your Affiant also learned through this investigation that after ELDER was killed, both
his cellphones were taken from his vehicle and subsequently turned off. Your Affiant
requests permission to seize cellphones and any of the above electronics and to forensically
download those items to preserve any evidence contained therein.

A nighttime search outside the hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. is necessary to prevent the loss,
destruction or removal of the objects of the search or to protect the searchers or the public
because This homicide at 502 N. Prior in St. Paul was a violent robbery where the suspect shot
the victim with a .223 Caliber firearm. The suspects then fled to the Bolero Flats Apartments in
Minneapolis where SPEED was seen on video trying to manipulate and cover up an item in his
pants and coat which your Affiant believes was the firearm used to kill Elder. These suspects
have been actively involved in numerous crimes throughout the metro since at least November
2021, to include robberies, firearm incidents, and fleeing the police in a motor vehicle. A
criminal history review of the known suspects in this homicide revealed that they have a history
of violent crimes. The suspects have been posting videos and photos on Instagram holding
several different firearms to include a rifle, possibly the murder weapon. The suspects have
also been posting videos inside the Bolero Flats Apartments in the pool area showing they are
still active in the Bolero Flats apartment complex. .223 Caliber rifle rounds can penetrate police
body armor, a nighttime search warrant enables officers to execute the warrant more safely by
allowing officers to make entry into the apartment without alerting the suspects inside. This
will not only increase officer safety, but it will also decrease the risk for injuries to the suspects
and other residents nearby.
