MINNEAPOLIS, (Reuters) - Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly killing a Minnesota Democratic state lawmaker and her husband while posing as a police officer, Governor Tim Walz said.
Vance Luther Boelter is the primary suspect in the deaths of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.
Boelter claimed to have a doctorate of education, and said he spent extensive time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa — where he was seen in videos apparently preaching on stage.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office unsealed the criminal complaint charging Vance Boelter with two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder.
