On March 17, 2026, officers were dispatched on a report of a domestic assault at a residence in the area Sheridan Avenue North in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. It was reported by the victims that the suspect, subsequently identified as DREVONNE KANYE BURNS-PERKINS [DOB REDACTED], "Defendant" herein, had made threats to kill them, and he was actively breaking property in the home. Upon arrival, officers located Defendant upstairs. Officers observed a knife near Defendant, and Defendant stated he was arming himself, and that the victims were threatening him.
Officers placed Defendant under arrest, and Defendant began yelling and stated the following in front of law enforcement to the victims: "And I'll be back tonight bitch. I'll kill all yall asses." The three victims in the home reported to law enforcement that Defendant had made similar statements to them before officers had arrived and they were afraid of being harmed by Defendant. Defendant did not use the knife in this incident. One of the victims is Defendant's biological mother, and she reported that Defendant had threatened her with a knife one month prior.
Defendant is presently in custody at the Hennepin County Jail, and the State respectfully requests this issue as a warrant given concerns of safety of the victims relating to the threats made. Heightened bail is requested given the threats made and the presence of three listed victims.
