I, username, being duly sworn, state as follows:
INTRODUCTION AND OFFICER BACKGROUND
[1] I am a Deputy in the Ridgeway County Sheriff’s Office and a Detective in the Criminal Investigations Division
(hereinafter “CID”). As a law enforcement officer, I am empowered to conduct investigations.
[2] I have been employed with the Sheriff’s Office since the 11th of March, 2026.
[3] I have investigated a multitude of cases involving organized crime, homicides, firearms crime, and
distribution of illegal firearms and equipment.
[4] This affidavit is being submitted in support of a criminal complaint alleging that M_troBoomin Violated the
following state criminal law:
a. x1 3 S.C.C § 10 (First-Degree Murder),
b. x1 5 S.C.C § 01 (Unlawful Possession of a Firearm),
c. x1 5 S.C.C § 03 (Unlawful Display of a Firearm),
d. x1 5 S.C.C § 05 (Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm).
[5] This affidavit is based on my personal knowledge, information provided to me by other law enforcement
agents, witness interviews, and my training and experience, as well as the training and experience of other law
enforcement agents.
[6] Because this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause in support
of a criminal complaint, I have not included each and every fact known to me concerning this investigation. I have
only set forth the facts that I believe are necessary to establish probable cause that the defendant violated the
state criminal laws set forth herein.
STATEMENT
[7] On the 6th of April 2026, an incident occurred at the County Hall in Palmer involving the defendant
M_troBoomin (hereinafter “defendant”), the complainant Ghostbleed and multiple witnesses.
[8] On the aforementioned date, at approximately 8:16 PM CDT, Ghostbleed was present in the courtroom
located in the Palmer County Hall while an active shooter situation was taking place. Due to this, the court was
forced to go into an immediate recess.

[9] After some time, while the active shooter situation is still ongoing, Ghostbleed makes his way across the
courtroom towards the exit. At this time, the defendant is, unbeknownst to Ghostbleed, present in the hallway
armed with a firearm.
[10] Upon exiting the courtroom, Ghostbleed is immediately met by the defendant, who is armed with a firearm.
The defendant attempts to enter into the courtroom through the open door. However, Ghostbleed closes the door
before the defendant has a chance to make entry.
a. At approximately 00:48 seconds into Exhibit A, the defendant can be clearly identified by their username
displaying “M_troBoomin”.
b. The firearm wielded by the defendant can be identified as a Para 17, a firearm only available to use by law
enforcement agencies and the national guard. The firearm is not equipped with a flashlight, indicating it is
sourced from an illegal dealer.
[11] The defendant then, without hesitation, opens fire on Ghostbleed, almost instantly causing his death.
a. At time of the shooting Ghostbleed was unarmed and clearly did not pose any threat to the defendant.
b. Nevertheless, the defendant opens fire directed at Ghostbleed and continues to shoot until the
complainant falls dead on the ground, displaying the defendant’s intent to kill.
[12] The incident took place in the Palmer County Hall, a posted firearm-free zone, located in the city limits of
Palmer.
a. At the time of the incident, an active court proceeding was taking place on the premises.
b. Despite this, the defendant unlawfully displayed and discharged a firearm without the legal means to do
so.
[13] As part of the investigation a voluntary interview was conducted with the defendant, listed as Exhibit B.
During this interview the defendant confirmed that he shot Ghostbleed because he is a government official and that
he had decided to do so when planning to shoot up the court.
a. This shows the defendant had malice aforethought: the defendant had planned to shoot just law
enforcement and government officials. Ghostbleed was shot by the defendant due to mere fact they were
on the “State Courts” team, indicated by the playerboard and visible to other players by the color of his
username.
