Vance Boelter is a man from Minnesota who is in big trouble with the law.

He is accused of hurting and killing important people in the state. On June 14, 2025, police say he shot and killed Melissa Hortman, a former House Speaker, and her husband. He also shot Senator John Hoffman and his wife, who were badly hurt but survived.

The FBI says Vance Boelter dressed like a police officer to trick people and get inside their homes. After the shootings, he ran away and became the target of a huge manhunt. The FBI is offering $50,000 to anyone who helps find him.

Vance Boelter has worked in many places. He was part of the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in Minnesota. He also worked in security services and ran a company called Red Lion Group in Africa. His LinkedIn page says he helped with safety in places like the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

His wife, Jenny Boelter, was shocked by what happened. She said the violence goes against everything their family believes. She has now filed for divorce and is working with police.

Police found many guns and ammo in Boelter’s home in Green Isle, Minnesota. They also found a list of over 70 people he may have wanted to hurt. This case is very serious, and Boelter could face the death penalty if found guilty
