Jeremiah Elijah Blackwell

The following is based on your complainant’s review of the reports of other officers and your complainant’s own investigation: On May 6, 2026, at about 9:15pm, Ramsey County Emergency 911 received a call from a home on Charles Ave., St. Paul, Ramsey County. Over an open line, a dispatcher heard someone scream “I will shoot you.” Several people in the area then called; they reported hearing a man yell, with one hearing him say, “I’m going to kill you.” St. Paul Police responded and met with ASD ([DOB REDACTED]). She said that her boyfriend is the defendant, JEREMIAH ELIJAH BLACKWELL ([DOB REDACTED]). She said that recently he had been staying with her and her brother at the home on Charles.

ASD said that that night, she and the defendant had argued, first in the living room and then in the bedroom. She said that in the latter, he held her by the throat, causing her to be unable to breathe. She said that after she managed to kick him off, she gathered his belongings from the living room. She said that when she returned to the bedroom to gather up the rest of his belongings, he struck her in the face. She said that they struggled, and her brother intervened. She said that the defendant took her cell phone as well.

A friend of ASD was present. She said that she heard the defendant calling ASD names and then saw him “choke” and strike ASD. She recalled the strangulation as having occurred against a wall. ASD’s brother said that he heard ASD scream that the defendant had hit her. He said that he physically intervened. Officers observed and photographed a knot forming on the side of ASD’s face; her eyeglasses had been broken as well. While officers were on scene, the defendant called ASD from the phone that he had taken.

He admitted to having struck ASD though claimed that it was only after she assaulted him first. He threatened to harm both ASD and her brother; he said that he would show them why he had gone to prison in the past. In a follow up interview, ASD’s brother reiterated his statements at the scene. Several weeks after the assault, the defendant was convicted of Possession of Pistol Without Permit – Felony, for an incident from December 2025 (Case No. ••-CR-25-•••••). The defendant's criminal record also includes, among other convictions, one for Aiding an Offender – Accomplice After the Fact – Murder in the First Degree for which he spent several years in prison (Case No. ••-CR-14-•••••).
