On May 24, 2026, at approximately 11:23 pm, officers with the Burnsville Police Department were dispatched to an apartment complex located at [ADDRESS REDACTED] in Burnsville, which is within Dakota County, for a suspicious person call.

Defendant stated that he was at the apartment complex visiting his girlfriend, but he was not able to provide any identifying information for her. Additionally, security footage obtained from the apartment complex showed Defendant standing in the apartment complex’s underground garage attempting to open multiple parked vehicles.
