open fire on Deputy Arthur_Chen with a Stetson M2-A striking his vehicle multiple times. The
complainant exited their vehicle and fled to the back of their vehicle for more cover from the
gunfire, but was ultimately killed by the defendant dataglitchs. Proceeding the death of the
complainant, the defendant dataglitchs approached the complainant and stated “56 ppd” and “clip
that”. Another individual identified as “Iamthebestlaith” also stated to the complainant “make sure
u clip now” and “<b> ShadowCulture / SL03 </b> SILENT need 32s ster”.
4. On 01/24/2024, the Ridgeway State Police’s State Bureau of Investigations was made aware of the
action of the defendant. As a result, Special Agent Ma_rces was assigned to investigate the
incident.
5. The investigations into the matters were continued, interviews were conducted with the
complainant and the defendant. In the interview with the original criminal complainant, they stated,
they were patrolling in a marked RCSO Actilla clearly visible with “SHERIFF” marking with
activated auxiliary lighting systems when they encountered criminal activity at the Sterling Car
Dealership. The complainant went on to say they observed the defendant operating a Green Actilla,
quickly exit and fire multiple rounds from a Stetson M2-A promptly killing the complainant after he
tried eluding to cover. A full transcript with the interview with the complainant can be found under
Exhibit B
6. In the interview with the defendant they stated that they witnessed the complainant enter the
Sterling Car Dealership, where the defendant stated they exited their vehicle and rapidly killed
Arthur_Chen with an M2-A. The defendant then stated they said “clip that”, and entered another
black colored Actilla, and promptly left the scene. In the interview the defendant claimed that the
murder of Deputy Arthur_Chen was justified as the deputy was apparently harassing innocent
civilians at the Palmer Bloxmart. The defendant said that this encounter with the complainant
wasn’t his first in that time as well, the defendant stated whilst at Bloxmart on a separate occasion
not five minutes before, he had killed the complainant at Bloxmart, then soon after went to Sterling
where he ran into the complainant once again and killed him. The defendant stated the second
encounter was a coincidental interaction, but still ended in the death of the complainant
Arthur_Chen. A full transcript with the interview with the defendant can be found under Exhibit C
