On November 9, 2025, at approximately 8:59 P.M., Officer Ramirez and Officer Abrahamson were on routine patrol traveling northbound on Central Avenue N. E., in the 7400 block, when the officers randomly queried a Kia Rio bearing MN license plate [PLATE REDACTED]. The owner of the vehicle, J. V. M., had a revoked driver's license. The officers followed the vehicle and were unable to visually identify the driver. The officers initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle.
