The Carver County Sheriff's Office is reaching out to the residents of Chanhassen for help in an ongoing investigation. The authorities need information from anyone in the Stone Creek Drive vicinity who might have seen something potentially critical on the afternoon of Friday, April 12.

Between 12:30 pm and 5:30 pm, any sightings of a 2007, 2-door metallic blue/grey Mitsubishi Eclipse with dark tinted windows could help piece together the narrative of that day's events. Likewise, deputies are interested in details about a man seen dressed in all-black attire and carrying a black backpack. Despite being specific, the nature of the investigation remains undisclosed to the public at this time.

Acknowledging the critical role community members can play in aiding law enforcement, the Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information – whether it be eyewitness accounts or video surveillance footage – to step forward. The alert, as posted on the Carver County Sheriff's Office's official Facebook page, implores residents to bolster the investigation.

Those who have any information that may be relevant are strongly encouraged to contact Detective Cepuran directly, at 952-361-1054. Providing such details, could prove pivotal, in the progression of the case, ultimately assisting local law enforcement in their broader mission to ensure community safety and justice.
