Sneed’s criminal activities have garnered significant attention. In early 2024, he was convicted in Rochester for multiple car thefts, highlighting a troubling pattern of repeat offenses.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections has listed Sneed among its active fugitives. Authorities urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the 24-hour tip line at 651-603-0026 or reach out to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
The rise in auto thefts has been a growing concern in Hennepin County. County Attorney Mary Moriarty emphasized the challenges in prosecuting such cases, noting that only 1.4% of reported stolen vehicle cases in Minneapolis lead to potential charges due to evidentiary hurdles.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to local law enforcement. Community cooperation is vital in ensuring public safety and aiding in the apprehension of fugitives like Sneed.
