ST. CLOUD, Minn. — A Sauk Rapids teen is facing first- and second-degree murder charges in the hit-and-run death of a 70-year-old man in St. Cloud on Friday.
Israel Muyaya Madimba, 16, was the driver of a stolen car that struck and killed Norbert John Olmscheid, according to the Stearns County attorney’s office.
Madimba appeared before Stearns County District Judge Kris Davick-Halfen on Monday. Bail was set at $2 million, or $1 million with conditions.
Davick-Halfen ordered criminal proceedings suspended pending an examination of Madimba’s mental competency, according to county attorney’s office.
According to the criminal complaint, Madimba called 911 and told authorities he had run over a person with his vehicle.
Officers obtained a taped statement from Madimba, who admitted he stole the vehicle from the St. Cloud YMCA, according to the complaint.
Madimba told police he saw Olmscheid walking on the sidewalk, and decided to run him over. Madimba said he turned onto the sidewalk and began driving slowly behind Olmscheid before accelerating and hitting him along the 1700 block of Sixth Avenue North.
Madimba told police he was “listening to a song about murder” before hitting Olmscheid.
