All of the conduct described herein occurred within the County of St. Louis, State of Minnesota, unless otherwise noted. On March 23, 2026, at approximately 12:06 AM, Duluth Police officers responded to a disturbance in the area of 2309 W 10th Street in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota. Upon arrival, Officer Currie made contact with Chamiah Banks, who stated that she was there to watch a fight that she heard about on Snapchat. Ms. Banks stated that a male later identified through investigative process as KEAVIN KEANDRE HARSTON JR., [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter referred to as the Defendant, had thrown a gun, and she pointed to the upper side of the alley.

Ms. Banks stated that prior to police arrival, the Defendant pointed the gun at her stomach and said “b****, I’ll kill you.” Ahmarri Koger confirmed that the Defendant had then thrown the gun into the snow on the upper side of the alley. Officers located a green and black Taurus Armas G2C 9 mm pistol in that location. Swabs were taken from the pistol and sent to the BCA for DNA testing.

The Defendant was convicted of a crime of violence, second degree assault with a dangerous weapon causing substantial bodily harm, on May 9, 2024, court file 69DU-CR-24-1265, which makes him ineligible to possess a firearm.

Due to the nature of the offense, the State respectfully requests that a warrant be issued. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.49, intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges, and in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court.
