Minnesota officials have released new photos of Vance Luther Boelter, 57, the person of interest in the deadly shootings targeting two Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party lawmakers early Saturday morning.
Speaker Emerita Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55, and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home by a man dressed as a police officer. Sen. John Hoffman, 60, and his wife Yvette were shot and wounded in their nearby Champlin home shortly before the Hortman shooting. The shooting scenes are about eight miles apart.
POI Boelter has changed his clothes from the shooting, where he was seen wearing blue clothing and a clear mask (photos further below.)
Police described the 220-pound, six-foot-one-inch Boelter, with brown hair and eyes, as wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark, long-sleeved, collared shirt or coat, and carrying a dark bag.
Boelter is considered armed and dangerous and should not approached by the public, police said, instead call 911. Tips on Boelert’s whereabouts can be called in to (877) 996-6222 or emailed to bca.tips@state.mn.us.
Police are unsure whether Boelter is operating alone or not.
Surveillance camera photos from what appears to be the Hoffman home show the suspect in blue police type clothing, a badge, and a clear face mask/head covering holding the storm door open as he tries to gain entry:

A screen image from KMSP-TV shows a police lookalike SUV parked in the driveway of the Hortman home:

A manifesto and ‘No Kings’ flyers were found in the SUV in the Hortman’s driveway.

Several news outlets are reporting the manifesto contains about seventy names of elected Minnesota Democrat officials at the state and national levels and abortion providers and supporters. Example:
MORE: Sources describe “manifesto” as more of a “hit list” in connection to assassin suspect, Vance Boelter. From what I’ve been told, only democrats are on the list along with Planned Parenthood locations.
