## Why he's in the news

On Oct. 5, 2026, Hennepin County District Judge Juan G. Hoyos moved Boelter's state trial from Nov. 2, 2026, to May 10, 2027, after his public defenders said they could not review all the evidence in time and Boelter agreed to waive the speedy-trial demand he had made.[7][8][9] The Hoffman family had opposed the delay, saying in a statement, "We have waited long enough."[11] On Oct. 8, Hoyos lifted a temporary gag order he had imposed on all parties, including Boelter, writing that "the continued restriction is not presently necessary."[6] No ruling on the defense's motions to move the trial out of Hennepin County or to dismiss on double-jeopardy grounds was reported in the sources reviewed through Oct. 27.[6][12]

## The backstory

Boelter stands convicted on federal charges by his own guilty plea; the facts below that come from the plea hearing, the federal charges and the sentencing are what he admitted or what the federal court found. The same events are the subject of separate state charges in Hennepin County, on which he has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. Nothing in the state case has been tried.[2][13]

### The planning

According to the factual basis read at his plea hearing by his lawyer, Boelter planned the attacks for months, recorded his targets' addresses and bought a GPS device, a silicone mask and supplies to make a fake police license plate.[20] Federal prosecutors said he researched his targets extensively and used disguises, firearms and law-enforcement-style equipment to gain access to the victims' homes.[1] According to a federal warrant described at the indictment announcement, security video recorded a man in a hooded rain jacket walking around the side and back of the Hortmans' home the evening before the shootings.[23]

### The Hoffman home

Early on June 14, 2025, according to the federal complaint, Boelter armed himself with firearms and body armor, disguised himself as a law enforcement officer and drove to the Champlin home of state Sen. John Hoffman.[3] At his plea hearing he admitted ringing the doorbell and shouting, "This is the police. Open the door."[20] The Hoffmans saw he was wearing a face mask and tried to close the door, and he shot Sen. Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman repeatedly, according to the complaint.[3] The federal indictment also charged that he shot at and tried to kill their daughter; Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said her parents put themselves between her and the gunfire.[23][1] Courthouse News reported that Sen. Hoffman was shot nine times; both he and his wife survived.[15][2]

### The other homes

Still disguised, he went to the homes of two other officials but did not make contact with them, according to the complaint.[3] At his plea he admitted going to the homes of state Rep. Kristin Bahner, who was away on vacation, and state Sen. Ann Rest; at Rest's home, a New Hope police officer who assumed he was conducting a welfare check approached his vehicle, and he left.[20][19]

### The Hortman home

The daughter's 911 call from the Hoffman home led Brooklyn Park police to send officers to check on the Hortmans, according to a federal warrant described by prosecutors.[23] The officers arrived to find a black Ford Explorer with flashing police-style lights and Boelter standing near the front door, according to the complaint.[3] Security video showed him at the door in a silicone mask and wig, according to the warrant as reported; he shouted, "Police! Welfare check!" and gave a false name and badge number.[23][17] The Associated Press reported the time as around 3:30 a.m.[17]

According to the complaint, he fired several shots into the home, striking Mark Hortman, then went inside and shot Melissa Hortman.[3] At his plea he admitted shooting her multiple times as she tried to flee up the stairs, and when asked in court whether he had put the gun to her head and pulled the trigger, he answered, "Yes."[20] An officer fired at him as he went into the house and missed, according to the warrant as reported.[23] Both Hortmans died.[3] Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, was Speaker Emerita of the Minnesota House.[3][16]

The Hortmans' golden retriever, Gilbert, was shot and had to be euthanized, according to the investigation as reported and testimony at sentencing.[23][16] That killing is the basis of a pending state charge of felony cruelty to an animal; it was not one of the federal counts.[5][2]

### The manhunt and the arrest

Boelter abandoned the SUV and fled on foot, according to the complaint.[3] In it police found five firearms, including semi-automatic rifles, a large amount of ammunition and several notebooks listing dozens of Minnesota state and federal elected officials, often with their home addresses.[3] According to news reports citing officials, the people listed also included abortion-rights advocates and Planned Parenthood staff.[26][20] Prosecutors did not allege that he reached anyone else on the list, and this page does not name them.

Law enforcement searched for him for nearly 43 hours, the FBI said.[2] At about 9:15 p.m. on June 15, 2025, officers found him in a field in Green Isle, about a mile from his family's home, and took him into custody.[3] Investigators recovered a 9mm handgun from a pond near the Hortman home, which Thompson said was used on the Hortmans, and a disassembled 9mm pistol several blocks away, which he said was used on the Hoffmans.[23]

### The letter

In a car Boelter abandoned near his home, investigators found a handwritten letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel in which, prosecutors said, he confessed to the shootings.[24][23] Prosecutors said the letter also made claims about secret military training and about being directed by public officials, and that they had found no evidence for them; the U.S. Attorney's Office called its contents "pure fantasy and delusion."[24][23] Federal prosecutors later rejected his claims that he acted for anyone in government and said he acted alone.[19][1] This page does not reproduce his writings.

### The federal case

Boelter was charged by federal complaint on June 16, 2025.[3] On July 15, 2025, a grand jury returned a six-count indictment: stalking of Melissa Hortman and of John Hoffman; murder of Melissa Hortman and of Mark Hortman through use of a firearm; and two counts of discharging a firearm, one for the Hortman shootings and one for the shootings of John and Yvette Hoffman and the attempted shooting of their daughter.[24] The grand jury also returned a notice of special findings, the first step toward a possible death sentence; Thompson said prosecutors were confident he acted alone and described his motive as "political extremism."[23][24] Boelter pleaded not guilty in August 2025, and the court designated the case complex.[22]

In early 2026, the lead federal prosecutor, Harry Jacobs, resigned along with several other prosecutors in the office, reportedly over the Justice Department's handling of an unrelated case; prosecutors told the court the case would continue as planned.[21]

### The plea

On June 11, 2026, before Senior U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim, Boelter admitted the conduct in the indictment and pleaded guilty to all six counts.[2][20] Under the plea agreement, the government agreed not to seek the death penalty, and the parties agreed to consecutive sentences totaling life plus life plus 40 years.[4][15] He told the judge he was of clear mind and understood the charges, the Minnesota Reformer reported.[20] Rosen said prosecutors would have prevailed at trial and called the plea "an opportunity that we just could not pass up."[20]

### The sentence

In their sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors described the attacks as political violence aimed at elected officials because of their public service.[19] According to Courthouse News, they said he intended to change the balance of power in both chambers of a Legislature that was nearly evenly divided.[15] His defenders asked the court to impose the agreed sentence and to recommend that he serve it at a federal penitentiary in Florida; they wrote that he "cannot change his actions from June 14, 2025."[4][19] The guidelines calculation, with a criminal history category of I, produced an offense level of 54, according to the defense filing.[4]

On July 23, 2026, Tunheim sentenced him to two consecutive life terms plus a consecutive 40 years.[1] He said it was "the longest sentence I have imposed after hearing thousands of cases over the years, but I do believe it is deserved," and called the attack "truly an attack on democracy itself."[16][15] Boelter apologized; he did not look at the survivors and family members as they spoke, the AP reported.[16][17]

### What the families said

Sen. Hoffman told the court, "The defendant looked me in the eyes and pulled the trigger," and described steel doors and changed routines at home.[17] Yvette Hoffman said she has been unable to work since the attack: "We always have an escape plan now. This isn't how people should live."[17] Melissa Hortman's father said he wished Boelter had talked with her about his political views; Mark Hortman's father and siblings expressed anger that he would not face the death penalty.[17][15] Her mother said, "It's over but it's never over."[18] Rep. Bahner told the court she could not understand why she was spared.[17]

### The state case

Hennepin County's first complaint charged Boelter with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder, KSTP reported in July 2025.[25] On Aug. 14, 2025, a grand jury indicted him on two counts of first-degree premeditated murder (Melissa and Mark Hortman), four counts of attempted first-degree murder (Sen. Hoffman, Yvette Hoffman, their daughter and Rep. Bahner), felony cruelty to an animal and impersonating a police officer.[5] The county attorney's office said that going to Bahner's door was a substantial step toward the alleged attempt even though she was not home.[5] These are allegations; on them Boelter is presumed innocent.

He first appeared on the state charges on Aug. 3, 2026, before Judge Juan G. Hoyos, who appointed a public defender.[14] On Sept. 2 he pleaded not guilty and demanded a speedy trial, and Hoyos set trial for Nov. 2; he kept bail at $5 million and denied a defense request to return him to federal custody.[13] The defense has moved to dismiss on double-jeopardy grounds and to move the trial out of Hennepin County, and has said he will argue justifiable taking of life and reasonable use of force; the state has moved to bar those defenses.[13][12] The defense has also asked to examine the windows of the Hortman home and Melissa Hortman's phone.[12] Responding to the proposed defenses, Sen. Hoffman said, "There's no defense to that," and Yvette Hoffman called them "'Twilight Zone'-ish."[12]

In late September, Hoyos issued a temporary gag order on all parties, at the defense's request, and with the state asking that it cover Boelter too.[6] On Oct. 5 he moved the trial to May 10, 2027, after Boelter agreed to waive his speedy-trial demand; Boelter had first said "there is a lot that needs to come out," then said he would rather his lawyers have time to represent him fully.[9][7][10] On Oct. 8 Hoyos lifted the gag order, writing that "the court expects all parties to exercise appropriate restraint and judgment."[6]

## Personal backstory

### Work and ministry

According to his federal defenders' sentencing filing, Boelter worked steadily from 1992 until his arrest, including managerial jobs at six food companies from 1992 to 2021.[4] The filing says he formed Revoformation Ministries Inc. in 2006, Praetorian Guard Security Services in 2018 and a nonprofit in 2021, and was chief executive of a company based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.[4] From 2023 he worked in the funeral industry and earned a state transport-care certification, the filing says.[4] He was appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council by Gov. Mark Dayton and reappointed by Gov. Tim Walz, serving through January 2024.[4] MPR reported that the security company drove a squad-style vehicle with emergency lights.[19]

### Family and record

He lived in Green Isle, Minnesota, according to federal prosecutors, and was 57 at the time of his arrest.[3] He had no prior criminal record; his criminal history category was I.[4] *Beyond these points, the court records reviewed say nothing about his childhood, family or schooling, and this page does not draw on unattributed accounts.*

### Mental health

*No court has made a finding about Boelter's mental health, and no testimony about it was reported in the sources reviewed.* After his indictment, Thompson said he anticipated that the defense might raise competency, but no competency proceeding was reported, and Boelter told the judge at his plea that he was of clear mind.[24][20] His defenders wrote at sentencing that therapy in jail "has assisted Mr. Boelter in understanding his actions"; the filing names no diagnosis.[4]

### In custody

Early in his federal case, Boelter complained in court of sleeplessness and conditions in the Sherburne County Jail; the county sheriff said he was "being treated like every other inmate."[25] According to his defenders, he spent two months in a booking cell without contact with other inmates, was moved to protective custody in March 2026, and has completed 127 certificate programs and online classes and attended a Bible study.[4] At his first state appearance he spoke at length about his health and what FOX 9 described as conspiracies, and complained that he had not seen a pastor in person since his arrest.[14] Prosecutors say he has used a friend to post writings online from custody.[13][6] He is held in the Hennepin County Jail for the state case.[13]

Opposing the state trial delay, the Hoffman family said that "victims have rights too, and those rights cannot become an afterthought."[11] *No statement from the Hortman family about the state trial was found in the sources reviewed.*

## Where the parties stand

- Federal prosecution: Prosecutors said Boelter acted alone, researched his targets extensively and used disguises, firearms and law-enforcement-style equipment to reach the victims' homes.[1] They described the attacks as political violence against elected officials because of their public service, intended to shift the balance of power in a closely divided Legislature.[19][15] "Justice requires that Boelter never be free again," their sentencing recommendation said.[15] U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen said, "Vance Boelter's crimes rank among the most horrific this office has ever prosecuted."[1]
- Boelter (federal case): His federal defenders wrote that he pleaded guilty "because he wanted to take responsibility for his actions" and that he "knows expressing his remorse does not take away the pain he has caused."[4] At sentencing he said, "To every person I have caused loss, pain, heartache, confusion, sadness, shame or loneliness, I am truly sorry."[16][15]
- Boelter (state case): He has pleaded not guilty to the state charges.[13] His public defenders have moved to dismiss on double-jeopardy grounds, arguing the federal convictions rest on the same acts, and to move the trial out of Hennepin County because of pretrial publicity.[13][12] They have said he intends to argue justifiable taking of life, reasonable use of force and that the acts were part of a single behavioral incident; the state has moved to bar those defenses.[12][13]
- State prosecution: Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the charges "reflect the weight of Mr. Boelter's crimes" and that the state case would move forward after the federal sentence.[5][16] Prosecutors have argued the national attention on the case is not a reason to move it, and have sought a protective order after, they say, he used a friend to post writings online from custody.[12][13]
- Victims' families: Sen. Hoffman told the federal court, "The court will announce the defendant's sentence; mine continues every day."[15] Mark Hortman's father said the family was denied a trial and argued Boelter should have faced execution.[15][17] The Hoffman family opposed the state trial delay, saying, "You cannot demand that the justice system move faster and then complain when it moves too fast."[11]
