Treviontae Montrez Desjarlait

On May 18, 2026 at approximately 12:40 P.M., Hopkins polie officers were dispatched to the 800 block of Old Settlers Trail in Hopkins, Hennepin County, Minnesota for a 911 call hang up. While enroute, officers were advised that a second call had come in saying that there was a domestic in progress. Upon arrival, police encountered an identified female, Victim [NAME REDACTED], screaming that a man, later identified as TREVIONTAE MONTREZ DESJARLAIT [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, was inside with her baby.

She went inside and came back out and began screaming that her baby had been taken by the Defendant. Once Victim [NAME REDACTED], she relayed that she was arriving at her home when she received a call from Defendant, the baby’s father, her ex-boyfriend. The two parties began to verbally argue, and as the argument began to escalate, Victim called 911. Defendant grabbed her phone from her hands when he realized who she had called and ended the call. Defendant then put his hands around Victim’s neck and applied pressure.

He used two hands and continued strangling her until she was lightheaded and lost control over her body – she fell onto the ground. After the assault, Defendant fled, taking their 8-day old baby with him. Police located the baby hours later and returned the baby to Victim, unharmed. Defendant has a pending case open in Hennepin County (••-CR-••-••••) against a different victim with whom he also shares a child – the charges are Assault in the Third Degree and Domestic Assault by Strangulation. Defendant remains in custody.
