Defendant was charged with numerous felony offenses related to multiple shooting incidents. The State appealed from a trial court order granting defendant’s motion to suppress evidence resulting from the execution of a search warrant for the content of defendant’s cell phone records and denying its motion to reconsider. The appellate court affirmed in part and reversed in part, finding that while there was probable cause to search the records relating to one of the shootings, there was no probable cause or exception that would apply to the second shooting. The appellate court remanded for the trial court to determine what evidence related to each shooting and to suppress only that evidence where probable cause did not exist.
