Overview
- The indictment accuses Boelter of murder, stalking and firearms offenses for the June 14 attacks that killed former Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife, and aimed at their daughter
- Prosecutors say Boelter donned a hyper-realistic mask, police-style vehicle and tactical gear to impersonate law enforcement and carry out his attacks
- Authorities recovered notebooks listing dozens of Democratic officials with addresses, multiple firearms and ammunition in Boelter’s abandoned vehicle
- Boelter has waived preliminary hearings to accelerate legal proceedings and remains in custody while disputing his political motives through jailhouse messages
- Attorney General Pam Bondi will decide whether to seek the federal death penalty, as Minnesota has not had a state capital punishment law since 1911
