Vance Boelter indicted in murder of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman

Published



Vance Boelter was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges related to the murder of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and the critical wounding of two others.

The indictment includes murder, stalking, and firearms charges, which stem from his elaborate plot that involved showing up at prominent Democratic Minnesota politicians’ doors disguised as a police officer with a realistic latex mask, then shooting the couple after they answered. He also faces state charges of two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder, along with federal stalking and firearms charges.
