STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE

Complainant has investigated the facts and circumstances of this offense and believes the following establishes probable cause: On April 19, 2014, officers responded to a residence in the 2800 block of James Avenue North, City of Minneapolis, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota, on a report of a shooting. Officers arrived to find a number of individuals at the residence, including one adult male, J.J.L., who appeared to have been shot in the face. Officers secured the scene and J.J.L. was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Officers would later learn that J.J.L. suffered numerous gunshot wounds, including one to his chin and one to his neck. Officers were informed that J.J.L. was paralyzed from the neck down. Officers interviewed a number of witnesses from the scene. Officers learned that a house party was going on and that attendees included members from two gangs, Taliban/YNT and Scarface. Your Complainant is aware that these gangs are considered rivals. Your Complainant is also aware that these gangs are comprised of three or more individuals, identify themselves using common symbols, and engage in violent crimes, including murder, assault, and robbery. Officers interviewed J.J.L. He told officers that he went to the party with two friends. He stated that a fight broke out, but he was not involved. J.J.L. said he observed a male, later identified as TRAE MARREY PATTERSON, "Defendant Trae Patterson" herein, pull out a handgun. J.J.L. stated that Defendant Trae Patterson shot at him twice. He said he remembered being hit and eventually collapsing to the ground. J.J.L. told officers he observed a second male, later identified as TYREL LAMAR PATTERSON, "Defendant Tyrel Patterson" herein, shot at him. J.J.L. stated that he remembered Defendant Tyrel Patterson walking over to him while he was on the ground and shooting J.J.L. twice. J.J.L. said he heard Defendant Tyrel Patterson telling others to just let J.J.L. die. J.J.L. described Defendant Trae Patterson's gun as a "Ducie Sig, all black." Your Complainant is aware this is a reference to a .22 caliber semiautomatic handgun. Officers located a number of shell casings from the scene, including .45, 9mm, and .22 calibers. J.J.L. reviewed a series of photographs and identified Defendant Tyrel Patterson and Defendant Trae Patterson as the two shooters. Your Complainant is aware that Defendant Tyrel Patterson and Defendant Trae Patterson associates with the gang Scarface. Officers also learned that Defendant Trae Patterson resides at the residence where J.J.L. was shot and he is brothers with Defendant Tyrel Patterson.
