Richard Ambers, 31, was found dead inside a car in Minneapolis on October 29, 2016. He had suffered two gunshot wounds to the head; the vehicle was parked near 48th and Bryant Avenues North and the incident occurred around 5:00 a.m.

Court documents allege Ambers was selling marijuana that night and that four people were later charged in connection with his death: Brandy L. Jaques, 40; Derrick Z. Smith, 26; Tyrel L. Patterson, 27; and Ayan A. Wahab, 22. The papers say Wahab met Ambers at a Super America gas station with Smith and Patterson. Smith allegedly told Wahab to befriend Ambers to learn where his money and drugs were kept, planning a robbery. After dropping Jaques off, Wahab returned to the car with Ambers; Patterson then approached and knocked on the window, Wahab fled, and three gunshots were heard.

Jaques, Smith, and Patterson were also charged in a November 23, 2016, killing in Prior Lake that prosecutors say involved a drug deal and robbery. All three were held in Hennepin County Jail on $1 million bail. Does anyone have information about Ambers, his movements that night, or witnesses who were in the 48th and Bryant area around 5:00 a.m.?
