Mekhi Camden Speed, a teenager from Minneapolis, was arrested in the Otis murder probe, which led to the no-knock warrant and the death of his cousin Amir Locke.
A teenage boy was arrested Monday in connection with a homicide investigation that led to the death of Amir Locke.
During a pre-dawn “no-knock” raid last week, Locke was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer.
The shooting sparked days of protests and renewed calls for the Minneapolis Police Department to be investigated.
Following that, Mayor Jacob Fey put a stop to no-knock warrants on Friday night.

The teenager, Mekhi Camden, who was arrested, was identified as Locke’s cousin in court documents.
Authorities have charged him with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Otis Rodney Elder, 38, on January 10.
In the charging documents, new details about the investigation that led to the fatal encounter with Locke, 22, who was not named in the search warrant, are revealed.
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.
Likewise, the teen suspect and his affiliates were tracked to the Bolero Flats apartment building in Minneapolis, where police executed search warrants on three apartments.
Mekhi shared an apartment with his mother, a second apartment two doors down with his associate, and a seventh-floor flat with the teen’s brother’s girlfriend.
Furthermore, as per Minneapolis police, the last apartment where Locke was killed was the only one with a “no-knock warrant.”

He could be a college student based on his youthful age, but no information about his educational history has been disclosed.
