ALGONA — An Algona man is sitting in a Brown County, Minnesota, jail awaiting extradition on a charge of first-degree murder for the shooting death of Algona Police Officer Kevin Cram.

Cram had located 43-year-old Kyle L. Ricke at 1102 S. Minnesota St. in Algona at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. Ricke had an active arrest warrant for harassment out of Palo Alto County.

After Cram, 33, told Ricke he was there to arrest him, Ricke shot the officer and fled.

Cram was serving an arrest warrant on Ricke when the suspect took a handgun and shot the officer, according to the criminal complaint against Ricke. After shooting, Ricke allegedly yelled “Too late motherf—“ and “I did it cause I am tired of this s–.”

Cram was located by law enforcement and emergency medical services quickly and transported to Kossuth Regional Health Center, where he was pronounced dead.

A massive manhunt for Ricke began immediately. He was eventually taken into custody approximately 110 miles northwest near Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, shortly before midnight.

Ricke was taken into custody without incident at 29000 210th St. in rural Sleepy Eye, a media release from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office said.

Ricke will be extradited back to Kossuth County. He was being held in the Brown County Jail on a $1 million bond Thursday.

He is also charged with fugitive from justice in Brown County, according to the Brown County Jail Roster report.

Ricke was also charged with third-degree harassment, a simple misdemeanor, in Kossuth County last month. According to court records, Ricke had an initial appearance for the charge in Kossuth County Magistrate Court on Wednesday morning. He is accused of sending multiple text messages and making several phone calls to a former partner who had requested that he not contact her. He was arrested on Aug. 28.

Details about the warrant from Palo Alto County that Cram was attempting to serve at the time of his death were not available by press time on Thursday.

The press release from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office lists several assisting law enforcement agencies, including the Minnesota State Patrol, Iowa Department of Public Safety, Minnesota State Patrol Air Unit, Sleepy Eye Police Department, Iowa State Patrol and FBI. The Kossuth County Sheriff’s Office and Algona Police Department were also involved.
