On April 12, 2026, law enforcement responded to a report of a person with a weapon in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Law enforcement met with S. A. Who told law enforcement that he was driving eastbound on Franklin Ave E when he slightly struck an individual on his bike later identified as Courtney Leak, [DOB REDACTED] (Defendant herein) with his vehicle. S. A. Said he stopped to check on the Defendant. S. A. Said the Defendant became very upset and then the Defendant took what appeared to be a knife out of his pocket and lunged at S. A. Attempting to stab S. A. The Defendant then also threatened to slash S. A.’s tires.

S. A. Said the knife was gray/ silver in color. A witness on scene told law enforcement that the Defendant was very aggressive with S. A. After the very low speed crash. The witness said the Defendant became irate and approached S. A.’s car and became confrontational with S. A. And the Defendant got in S. A.’s face. Law enforcement located a pair of silver metal scissors on the ground less than 5 feet from where the Defendant was standing. In a Post Miranda Statement the Defendant admitted to getting upset after he was hit by the vehicle but denied arming himself with scissors.

Defendant also admitted that he “went into his pocket” but he did not take out any weapons. The Defendant is in custody.
