Post-Assassination Home Invasion at Minnesota Lawmaker’s Residence Under Investigation

Following the assassination of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, an apparent break-in occurred at their residence. Brooklyn Park Police report the home was searched, though the family claims nothing is missing. Investigators believe entry was gained via a rear window, bypassing a police surveillance camera. Crime scene investigators have returned to collect evidence from the scene, and authorities are requesting neighborhood surveillance footage.

The break-in follows the arrest of Vance Boelter, charged with the Hortmans’ deaths, as well as the shooting of State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Boelter, reportedly dressed as a police officer, allegedly targeted multiple Minnesota lawmakers, predominantly Democrats and individuals associated with Planned Parenthood or the abortion rights movement. His 43-hour manhunt was the largest in Minnesota’s history. He faces numerous federal and state charges.

The incident highlights security concerns following a high-profile political assassination. The investigation into the break-in is ongoing, focusing on evidence retrieval and neighborhood surveillance analysis.
