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 January 27th, 2024.
[3] I have investigated a multitude of cases involving firearms crime.
[4] This affidavit is being submitted in support of a criminal information alleging that Tub_z
violated the following state criminal laws: 3 S.C.C § 10 (Second-Degree Murder), 5 S.C.C § 01
(Unlawful Possession of a Firearm), 5 S.C.C § 04 (Brandishing), and 4 S.C.C § 09 (Evidence
Theft).
[5] 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.
[6] 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.
STATEMENT

seen parked in their blue Tremor Cobral prior to suspect Tub_z approaching them and positioning
their black Rodeo Covered in the direction of the complainant. As soon as this occurs, the
complainant begins to drive away from the suspect which prompts the suspect to once again move
towards them. The suspect then exits their vehicle and draws a Stetson M2-A, opening fire at the
complainant causing them to step out of their vehicle to return fire in self-defense. The complainant
and suspect engage in a shootout leading to the complainant’s death. With their items being
dropped, the suspect proceeds to retrieve them. Refer to Exhibit A.
