Overview

• Brom will transfer from Lino Lakes prison to a Twin Cities halfway house under a supervised work-release program
• He remains subject to GPS monitoring and parole supervision as part of a structured reentry plan approved by the Supervised Release Board in January
• The move is enabled by a 2023 Minnesota law ending mandatory juvenile life without parole and allowing eligibility after 15 years behind bars
• Brom, now 53, has served more than 35 years for the 1988 ax murders of his parents and two younger siblings in Rochester when he was 16
• Olmsted County Sheriff Kevin Torgerson has urged the public to trust the parole board’s decision despite the crime’s enduring emotional impact
