Son ‘entered his parent’s lodge with a mission’ before telling his dad’s two friends to sit down and then killing his father, with whom he had not been in good relations and had not been getting along for a very long time; charged
Minneapolis, MN – Authorities released information regarding the arrest of a 31-year-old Minnesota man, identified as K. Edward ll, who faces multiple charges, including murder, burglary, and kidnapping. The charges come after Edward allegedly shot and killed his 61-year-old parent, K. Edward lll, in what authorities described as a violent act resulting from an ongoing dispute between the two. Investigators revealed that the shooting was the tragic culmination of months of tension and conflict within the family. Edward’s partner told authorities that their relationship had been strained for a long time, with frequent disagreements and an inability to reconcile differences with his family.
The fatal shooting took place last Friday, with authorities responding to the scene after the victim’s family members witnessed the crime and rushed to a nearby cabin to call 911. The victim’s sibling and a mutual friend, who had been present during the incident, provided crucial details to the responding officers. According to their statements, they saw Edward, the shooter, approach the cabin with a weapon in hand. The two individuals quickly recognized the threat and attempted to protect themselves, but it was too late to prevent the tragedy.
When law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they found the victim lying on the floor, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Despite the efforts of first responders, K. Edward was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation revealed that the victim, his family member, and a close friend were eating in the cabin when they noticed someone on a security camera walking toward them carrying a weapon. The victim’s family member attempted to grab a weapon from another room to defend themselves but was confronted by Edward, who had already entered the cabin and opened fire. The other man told police that the son ‘entered with a mission, he entered to kill his father’. He added that the son had shot his father in the head execution style.
Following the fatal shooting, Edward allegedly ordered the other two individuals to sit down and stay quiet. The victims, terrified for their lives, begged Edward to let them go, and the 31-year-old shooter reportedly agreed to release them. However, he demanded that they leave their phones behind before fleeing the scene. The two individuals managed to escape the cabin and immediately called for help. In interviews with investigators, the victim’s sibling disclosed that there had been ongoing issues between Edward and his parent for quite some time. They explained that the two had never been able to get along and that the situation had escalated over the years, with tensions growing to the point where violence became a tragic outcome.
Law enforcement authorities arrested Edward shortly after the shooting, finding him at his girlfriend’s home. He was taken into custody without further incident. According to court records, Edward is being held on a $3 million bond as he faces multiple charges in connection with the murder of his parent, as well as burglary and kidnapping for the actions that followed the shooting. The case has shocked the local community, with many questioning what might have driven Edward to take such extreme measures. Investigators continue to piece together the events leading up to the crime as they work to understand the full scope of the situation. The tragic loss has left the victim’s family grappling with grief and disbelief, struggling to come to terms with the violent act carried out by a family member. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are looking into any additional evidence or circumstances that may have contributed to the deadly confrontation.
