The case led police to the Minneapolis apartment where a SWAT team officer fatally shot Locke.
Speed, who was 17 at the time, entered his plea via video from the Juvenile Detention Center. Ramsey County Judge Timothy Mulrooney found there was factual basis to support the guilty plea, which will be finalized at sentencing.
As St. Paul police were investigating Elder’s murder, they identified Speed as a suspect and obtained search warrants for Minneapolis apartments associated with him. Locke, Speed’s cousin, was not named in the warrants but was in one of the apartments as a Minneapolis SWAT team entered the unit without knocking on Feb. 2.
Minnesota prosecutors declined to file charges the against Officer Mark Hanneman, saying his use of deadly force was justified. Attorney General Keith Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman said last month that Locke might never have been shot if not for the no-knock warrant. But they said there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hanneman violated the law.
