Boelter, 57, is accused of impersonating a police officer and fatally shooting Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and severely injuring another lawmaker couple at their homes in Brooklyn Park. A vehicle with police lights was found at the scene, and a manifesto listing targeted political figures was recovered from the area. Officials have described the killings as politically motivated and deliberate.
The FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office is leading the manhunt in partnership with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and local law enforcement. Authorities in the area warn the public not to engage with anyone claiming to be law enforcement unless they can confirm the presence of two officers and verify credentials by calling 911.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Boelter is a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 220 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. A photo released by the FBI was taken in June 2022. Law enforcement is also pursuing several additional people of interest believed to be connected to the incident. Anyone with information is urged to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
