I, Supervisory Special Agent xXBoomblast339Xx, RI03
(Name and identification of law enforcement officer, investigator, or person having information as probable cause)
knowing that false statements on this form are punishable by law, state that the facts contained herein
are true. Your affiant has probable cause to believe that on 03/06/2024, at Palmer Car Dealership,
Palmer, in Ridgeway County, State of Ridgeway, defendant AndreiKozlov committed one or more
criminal offense(s):
ONE COUNT OF:
3 R.S.C § 09 First-Degree Murder
The act of committing murder in the course of committing or attempting to commit kidnapping,
burglary, robbery, arson, obstruction or retaliation; or of committing murder of a peace officer or civil
department employee discharging a lawful and official duty, with the knowledge of the person being a
peace officer or civil department employee; or of committing murder with malice aforethought.
Your affiant, being duly sworn, depose and state that the facts supporting this belief are as follows:
1. My name is xXBoomblast339Xx, I’m currently employed in the State Bureau of Investigations as a
Supervisory Special Agent. I’ve been employed in the state Bureau of Investigations for over a year
and a half. I’ve been with the Ridgeway State Police for a bit longer than that. I’ve been in the
investigative field for a considerable amount of time. I formerly served as an Internal Affairs
Investigator within RSP and I oversee RPS IA. I’m a LETC Class 7 graduate and I’m certified to be a
Peace Officer in this state, I am also a Bar Certified Attorney. I have probable cause to believe in the
following:
2. This statement is made in support of a criminal complaint against AndreiKozlov for violations of the
aforementioned statutes
3. On 03/06/2024, at approximately 1256 hours UTC, a lawful civilian mehtabwali1 (henceforth the
“complainant”) was walking around Palmer Car Dealer when AndreiKozlov (henceforth the
“defendant”) began to open fire on and killed them.
4. Beginning with Exhibit A, a video of the incident from the complainant's (victim’s) perspective, we
see the complainant is at Palmer Car Dealer with a sign begging for money. The defendant
AndreiKozlov is seen in a green Percival. On first appearance, the defendant is speaking something
to an irrelevant party. We then see the Percival, driven by the defendant, drive forward before the

defendant jumps out with a Wesler shotgun. The complainant attempted to draw their sidearm in
self-defence but the defendant succeeded in killing them with a shotgun.
5. An interview was conducted with the complainant and is recorded in Exhibit B. In the interview, the
complainant states that they were “just chilling” in Palmer when the defendant approached and
killed them. The complainant goes on to say they believe that they were killed in response to a
previous incident where they informed a park ranger about the defendant “attempting to rob a
credit security bank truck”. The complainant provides a video of the defendant near a bank truck
and pulling their firearm, witnessed by the complainant. This video is logged in Exhibit C. The
complainant finished the interview by confirming that they were speaking to the park ranger
before the video started and then proceeded to PCD where the incident took place.
6. An interview was conducted with the defendant and is recorded in Exhibit D. The defendant was
shown the evidence and read their Miranda rights. The defendant, when asked to give his
perspective of the events stated “He killed me before so I killed him in return”. A clear declaration
of a murder with malice aforethought. The defendant goes on to say that he is a “hunter” and
“hunts” people and cops. After this, the defendant fails to respond for many days before providing
a response but then gives a blatant admittance of malice aforethought, stating that they wanted to
kill the victim so they got their gun and shot them. It was clear that the complainant was not an
active threat to anyone and yet the defendant shot and killed him, an unjustifiable act.
7. In conclusion, based on the evidence and statement made by the victim and defendant, it is evident
that the actions of the defendant were unlawful, and they intentionally murdered the complainant,
an innocent civilian. This constitutes First Degree Murder, and the defendant ought not to get away
without justice being served.
