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
turkgaming4 violated the following state criminal laws: 3 S.C.C § 10 (First-Degree Murder) ON
1 count, and 2 S.C.C § 11 (False-Personation / Impersonation) ON 1 count.
This affidavit is based on my personal knowledge, information provided to me by other
law enforcement agents, complainant 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 march 16th, 2024, at around 14:27 (UTC -05), BOUTAGHANE343 was conducting
his duties as an RCU employee. On a delivery, BOUTAGHANE343 was stabbed to death by
turkgaming4 by a knife as shown in exhibit A.
Whilst turkgaming4 was in the act of stabbing BOUTAGHANE343, turkgaming4 was
visibly wearing a uniform resembling an RCSO deputy as shown in exhibit A.
An interview was conducted with turkgaming4, and turkgaming4 stated that he often
commits the act of “shooting up RCU as usual” as shown in exhibit C. turkgaming4 also
mentioned targeting RCU for three reasons, one being them having money in their trucks, the
other being RCU ramming him into the water and lastly them being his enemies in general.
Furthermore, turkgaming4 mentioned dashing after stabbing the RCU employee due to his friend
having a shootout in the docks.
An interview was conducted with the complainant, BOUTAGHANE343. During the
interview, BOUTAGHANE343 mentioned not having any previous encounters with turkgaming4
and he was simply killed whilst he was trying to do his duties as RCUS as shown in exhibit B.
Based on the foregoing, your affiant submits there is probable cause to believe that
turkgaming4 violated 3 S.C.C § 10, which makes it a crime to intentionally or knowingly causing
death of an individual; or of causing, with intent, serious bodily injury and commits an act
clearly dangerous to human life that causes death of an individual; or of committing or attempts
to commit a felony, other than manslaughter, and in the course of and in furtherance of the
commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he commits or
attempts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life.
Based on the foregoing, your affiant submits there is probable cause to believe that
turkgaming4 violated 2 S.C.C § 11, which makes it a crime to use someone else's name/identity
or claiming to be in a government/law enforcement position which you are not part of or wearing
a badge or uniform or patches used by a government/law enforcement position which you are not
part of or wearing a department formal used by a public service agency which you have not
received a good faith discharge from.
