The footage shows extensive damage to the home, with nearly half of the structure charred. The fire appeared to have started 'somewhat in the rear of the house based on the heavy damage,' Cullen said.

Police identify man and woman in Santa Rosa murder-suicide
Sonoma County officials have identified two people found dead in a Santa Rosa apartment last week after a domestic violence incident, police said. Emily Hemming, 24, is believed to have been shot multiple times with an assault rifle by Vicente Carrillo-Cedillo, 24, before he shot himself, the Santa Rosa Police Department said Wednesday. The two were identified by the Sonoma County coroner. Investigators believe that Hemming and Carrillo-Cedillo were dating and living together in the apartment after moving to Santa Rosa from Southern California in 2022. The couple had no children, authorities said. Police said neither Hemming nor Carrillo-Cedillo had any reports related to domestic violence in Santa Rosa or in Southern California. Officers arrived at an apartment unit where Hemming and Carrillo-Cedillo lived, in a fourplex on Atlanta Court, around 2:40 p.m. on June 11 after a report about possible domestic violence from a caller, who was not at the home but had received information about the incident, police said. Police said they were unable to make contact with anyone inside, though neighbors said they heard what appeared to be gunshots about 20 minutes before officers arrived. Around 4:30 p.m., SWAT officers entered the apartment and found two people, later identified as Hemming and Carrillo-Cedillo, in a back bedroom with gunshot wounds. They were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Investigators found four guns in the apartment, two pistols, an assault rifle and a shotgun, that were owned by Carrillo-Cedillo, police said. The incident marked the eighth homicide in Santa Rosa in 2025, and the second murder-suicide incident of the year. Police advised anyone experiencing domestic violence or concerned about a loved one experiencing domestic violence to reach out for help, including from the Family Justice Center of Sonoma County at 707-565-8255 or the YWCA Sonoma County, which has a confidential crisis hotline available any time of day at 707-546-1234.

Immigration arrest turns violent in Bloomington, suspect now facing federal charges
Federal prosecutors say an escape attempt during an ICE arrest in the Twin Cities is leading to even more charges. According to a federal complaint charging him with assault on a federal officer, agents were executing a federal immigration warrant for 39-year-old Roberto Carlos Munoz, who they say is in the country unlawfully. Munoz was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2023. The Department of Justice says a request for Munoz to be held after his 2022 arrest was "not honored by local authorities and Munoz was released." Agents located Munoz on Tuesday morning, leaving his home. According to the complaint, that's when an FBI agent activated his emergency lights, but Munoz did not immediately pull over. Surveillance video from a nearby home shows agents boxing in Munoz and approaching the vehicle. Court documents say he refused to comply before a federal agent "took out his spring-loaded window punch with his right hand and broke the driver's side rear window." Moments later, Munoz turned the wheel to the right to avoid the vehicle in front of him, drove up on the curb and accelerated away at a high rate of speed. The officer's right arm was caught in the vehicle. As Munoz fled, the officer was dragged along for 300 feet. Officials say the agent suffered significant cuts that resulted in more than 30 stitches. Bloomington police took Munoz into custody. Now, a top homeland security official is criticizing Gov. Tim Walz Posting on X, "Instead of comparing ICE law enforcement to the Gestapo, Walz should be thanking our brave law enforcement." In a statement earlier this month, a spokesperson for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office explained they are not involved in civil immigration enforcement. Over in Bloomington, police chief Booker Hodges was unavailable for an interview, but we're told he's recorded a video where he will speak about local and federal law enforcement.

Overnight break-in reported at home of slain Minnesota lawmaker and husband
Police in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park are investigating an overnight break-in at the home of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman, four days after she and her husband were assassinated in what authorities have called a 'targeted political' attack. The home had been boarded up in the wake of Saturday's shooting. But that was breached sometime overnight, when someone pried the plywood off a back window and broke the glass, making the home a crime scene for a second time, police said Wednesday. 'The home was once again processed by crime scene investigators for evidence of the burglary,' Brooklyn Park police said in an 8 a.m. statement obtained by ABC News. 'The home appeared to have been searched by an unknown individual; however, the family has indicated that they don't believe anything is missing.' Police were still searching for the intruder on Wednesday and asked neighbors to check surveillance video for potential footage. A police camera was trained on the front of the house, authorities told The Minnesota Star Tribune, but their statement did not specify whether that generated any glimpses of the suspect. The Hortmans were fatally shot at around 3:35 a.m. Saturday by a man who arrived at their door dressed as a police officer. Investigators said their home was the fourth stop for 57-year-old suspect Vance Boelter in a spree that began at the home of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. They both suffered multiple gunshot wounds and said they're 'lucky to be alive.' Boelter then allegedly stopped at the homes of two other lawmakers before gunning down Melissa and Mark Hortman and their dog. Boelter was arrested Sunday night after a nearly two-day manhunt. He's currently behind bars on $5 million bond awaiting a June 27 court appearance. Tributes continued to pour in through Wednesday for Hortman, a Democrat and former Speaker of the House known as a tough negotiator and 'the most consequential' speaker in state history, as colleagues on both sides of the aisle have remembered her. In Washington on Tuesday, U.S. Minnesota Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith honored Hortman in remarks on the Senate floor. A candlelight vigil honoring the Hortmans was scheduled for Wednesday night at the state capitol in Minnesota. With News Wire Services
