Minnesota authorities arrested Vance Boelter, the suspect in the assassination of Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and the failed assassination attempt of Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, on Sunday afternoon after a daylong manhunt.

MINNEAPOLIS, (Reuters) - Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly killing a Minnesota Democratic state lawmaker and her husband while posing as a police officer, Governor Tim Walz said.

The man accused of shooting Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses has ties to Wisconsin that date back decades. FOX6 News found Vance Boelter has connections from western to southeast Wisconsin. Boelter is being held without bail on federal stalking and murder charges. He also faces state murder charges.

In the ongoing manhunt for Vance Luther Boelter, the FBI has shared a new image of him at a Minnesota shooting victim's door.

A Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband are dead after what police are calling a "targeted" shooting of political violence early Saturday morning. A manhunt is underway for the suspect, who is said to be impersonating a police officer.

Boelter had also been a member of the Governor's Workforce Development Council in 2016 during the administration of then-Governor Mark Dayton.
