Prosecutors say the June 2025 shootings that killed Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and wounded Sen. John Hoffman were part of a planned campaign of political intimidation. The suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, was arrested after a two-day manhunt with a list of nearly 70 potential targets. Federal and state charges are pending, with a push to upgrade to first-degree murder.
