Interim Police Chief Amelia Huffman said last week that officers from the Minneapolis Police Department were serving the order as part of the St. Paul homicide investigation. The teen suspect and his affiliates were tracked to the Bolero Flats apartment building in Minneapolis, where police executed search warrants on three apartments. At that time, Camden was present in the apartment with his mother, a second apartment with two doors with his associate, and a seventh-floor flat with the teen’s brother’s girlfriend. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, they say the last apartment where Locke was killed was the only one with a no-knock warrant.
