On November 13, 2025, at approximately 7:08 A.M., officers of the Minneapolis Police Department responded to a report of a carjacking in progress in the vicinity of 33XX Upton Ave. N., City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Officers arrived on scene and contacted the reporting party, VICTIM B. P., who indicated that she was inside a Black Chevrolet Equinox (MN LIC# KGL232), herein VEHICLE 2, when a White Ford Expedition (MN LIC# RCX024), herein VEHICLE 1, occupied by two unknown black males, pulled up.
The two occupants of VEHICLE 1 exited and approached her wearing all black, masks, and wielding handguns. VICTIM B. P. Stated that the two males pointed the guns at her and demanded her keys, wallet, and cellphone. The two males compelled VICTIM B. P.'s acquiescence, took possession of VEHICLE 2 and some of VICTIM B. P.'s property, then drove away, abandoning VEHICLE 1 at the scene. According to VICTIM B. P., neither assailant was wearing gloves. Investigation would later reveal one of the assailants to be identified as KYREESE LATRONE WOODS ([DOB redacted]), DEFENDANT herein.
Officers simultaneously learned that VEHICLE 1, now abandoned at the scene of the VEHICLE 2 theft, had been reported stolen at gunpoint minutes earlier, several blocks away near 30XX Upton Ave. N., City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. According to the owner of VEHICLE 1, VICTIM R. R. D., two unknown black males in their early twenties approached her wearing all black and masks. The two men pointed guns at VICTIM R. R. D., compelling her acquiescence, took possession of VEHICLE 1, and drove away.
According to VICTIM R. R. D., neither assailant was wearing gloves. While conducting the investigation, officers learned that a third carjacking incident occurred nearby during the same period in the vicinity of 14XX Oliver Ave. N., City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. According to VICTIM B. M, she was approached by two unknown black males in their twenties wearing all black, their faces covered, and carrying handguns who exited from VEHICLE 1 and compelled her acquiescence. The two males attempted to enter her vehicle, a Silver Toyota Camry (MT LIC# 439151D), herein VEHICLE 3. However, the assailants were startled by an approaching vehicle, causing them to retreat from VEHICLE 3, return to VEHICLE 1, and flee.
VEHICLE 2 was later recovered in the vicinity of 2XX Humboldt Ave. Officers obtained security video from a business adjacent to where VEHICLE 2 was recovered that depicts the two assailants, matching the description from all three VICTIMS, exiting VEHICLE 2 at approximately 7:30 A.M., still wearing masks, and walking to a nearby apartment building located at 14XX Currie Ave. W. The apartment is in close proximity to all three incidents. Forensic analysis was able to pull latent prints from the passenger side doors of both VEHICLE 1 and VEHICLE 2 that came back to DEFENDANT. Officers also obtained cell phone records that placed DEFENDANT at the apartment on Currie Avenue adjacent to where VEHICLE 2 was recovered both before and after the carjackings.
