STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE
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. I have been employed with the Sheriff’s Office since January 27th, 2024.
I have received training to conduct investigations on all types of criminal offenses. This affidavit
is being submitted in support of a criminal information alleging that macncheez23 violated the
following state criminal laws: 3 S.C.C § 09 (First-Degree Murder), 5 S.C.C § 01 (Unlawful
Possession of a Deadly Weapon), 5 S.C.C § 05 (Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm), and 5 S.C.C §
04 (Brandishing). This affidavit is based on my personal knowledge, information provided to me
by other law enforcement agents, law enforcement records, witness interviews, and my training
and experience, as well as the training and experience of other law enforcement agents.
Because this affidavit is being submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable
cause in support of a criminal information, 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 suspect violated the state criminal laws set forth herein.
On February 28th, 2024, Omnilius extinguished a fire occurring at the Mechanic Shop
which is located in Palmer. Shortly after extinguishing the fire, Omnilius approached the side of
his truck to turn off the active pump. While Omnilius was turning off the pump of his fire truck,
macncheez23 approached Omnilius with a Micro, an illegal firearm in his hands. While
macncheez23 was approaching Omnilius, macncheez23 opened fire upon Omnilius within the
city limits of Palmer and in front of the Mechanic Shop which is located inside of Palmer. After
macncheez23 discharged numerous shots upon Omnilius, Omnilius died due to the gunfire as
Omnilius was attempting to do his duties as a government employee. Due to my findings from
this investigation and all factors of the investigation being considered, there is no justifiable
reason macncheez23 opened fire on Omnilius resulting in Omnilius’s death. During this
investigation, the complainant, Omnilius, was interviewed. Omnilius stated in the interview, that
he has had previous encounters with macncheez23 and he has died due to macncheez23’s actions
before as well.
