Minnesota shooting suspect's company claims he was ‘involved with security situations' around the world
A 57-year-old man who has been named as a suspect in the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers worked at a private-security company that says he has been involved in 'security situations' around the world, including in the Middle East, Europe and Africa. The suspect remains at large, and a manhunt is underway across the Minneapolis area. The suspect in the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers on Saturday worked at a private-security company that claims he has experience around the world. State Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55 years old, and her husband were shot and killed in their Brooklyn Park home. Elsewhere in Champlin, state Sen. John Hoffman, 60, and his wife were also shot at home and are recovering after undergoing surgery. Gov. Tim Walz described the shooting as 'an act of targeted political violence.' State authorities said they are looking for 57-year-old Vance Boelter, who remains at large with a manhunt underway across the Minneapolis area. According to the website for his company Praetorian Guard Security Services, Boelter is listed as director of security patrols, while his wife is listed as president and CEO. 'Dr. Vance Boelter has been involved with security situations in Eastern Europe, Africa, North America and the Middle East, including the West Bank, Southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip,' the site says. 'He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on the ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. Military.' Another member of Praetorian's leadership team includes a security training manager who is described as a retired undercover officer. The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Law enforcement officials said a dark SUV with police lights was parked at Hortman's home when they responded to the shooting, adding that a man dressed like a police officer was inside and opened fire on Brooklyn Park police officers before fleeing. Praetorian's website also says Boelter has worked for 'the world's largest food company based in Switzerland and the world's largest convenience retailer based in Japan.' That appears to align with a LinkedIn profile with Boelter's name and photo that includes prior jobs as a supervisor at Nestle and a 7-Eleven general manager. It doesn't mention Praetorian Guard or any prior military experience, but lists his current job as CEO of Red Lion Group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Minnesota Star Tribune cited an online video from two years ago that appears to show Boelter preaching in Congo and telling a congregation, 'I met Jesus when I was 17 years old and I gave my life to him.' The LinkedIn page also says Boelter has a doctorate in leadership and a master of science in management from Cardinal Stritch University. It says he has a bachelor's degree in international relations from St. Cloud State University. This story was originally featured on

British national pleads guilty to defrauding homeowners
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A British national accused of scamming homeowners in three states pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges Thursday in Providence as part of a plea agreement. Elijah Gavin, 29, faces a maximum sentence of 70 years in prison and a fine of up to $1.2 million. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Gavin was one of what the FBI calls Conmen Travelers, which are groups of Irish or U.K. nationals who swindle homeowners in a contracting scheme. Feds warn homeowners of 'traveling conman' scheme Court documents say Gavin claimed he was a contractor and used different aliases like 'Simon Kelly' and 'Timothy O'Reilly' to defraud homeowners in three states, including Rhode Island, where he targeted a 78-year-old widow. According to those documents, the woman paid Gavin more than $850,000 in separate checks for work he performed on the foundation and roof of her home in 2023. She later called police after her bank flagged a wire transfer Gavin had requested, saying his account 'dealt with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies' and was not a construction company. Investigators used surveillance video of Gavin depositing money at a Providence ATM and a mugshot published by a U.K. news outlet to identify him. Upon seeing the booking photo, the victim reportedly pointed to the laptop and said, 'That's Tim!' Police took Gavin into custody in February. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland has had him listed as 'unlawfully at large' since 2022, when he went on the lam after being convicted of a number of offenses, including burglary, bodily harm and drug possession. Interview: Irish journalist on 'Traveling Conman Fraud' The plea agreement notes that Gavin may have the option to transfer his sentence abroad through the international prisoner transfer program. He is scheduled to be sentenced in September. Target 12 reached out to his attorney for a comment, but hasn't heard back. Download the and apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.

Mother of Arius Williams, charged with killing 2-year-old son Montrell, weighed getting him psychiatric help
The mother of Arius Williams, accused of tossing his 2-year-old son Montrell into the Bronx River, had met with a lawyer to discuss having the troubled young father committed to a psychiatric institution, family members told the Daily News in an exclusive interview. 'I kept telling her, 'You need to put him away,'' said Williams' cousin Berniece, recounting a string of violent episodes involving the 20-year-old father. 'She kept saying she was going to put him away. 'Obviously she didn't.' As the gruesome details of Montrell's death unfolded, dueling profiles have emerged of Williams — one remarkably describing him as a loving father and another deriding him as a monster. Both assessments come from within his own family. The horrific chain of events that led to Williams' arrest and the death of the playful toddler actually began after he stormed out of a Mother's Day celebration following an argument with his own mother, Sabrina Williams. Relatives said Arius Williams, 20, took the boy with him, and Montrell was never seen again. Yet it was Williams' stepfather, Leroy Burton, Sabrina's husband, who was standing up for the suspected murderer. 'He loved Montrell,' Burton said. 'He loved his son, because he always had his eye on him. I don't know what the hell happened.' But the dad whom Burton described was not the father the rest of the family knew. They said Williams was so abusive, to even his own relatives, that they didn't trust him around the child. 'He didn't give a damn,' said Williams' aunt, Alicia Williams, the sister of Williams' mother. 'Arius is Satan, just an evil boy.' Still, even in their worst nightmares, Williams' relatives said they never thought he would take out his frustrations on a helpless child, and leave him somewhere for dead. Investigators said they weren't certain, either, until they fished Montrell's little body out of the East River, miles away from the spot where police said a surveillance camera captured Williams tossing something into the water weeks earlier from a Bruckner Expressway overpass. The decomposing body was still dressed in the Calvin Klein t-shirt he was wearing when he disappeared with his dad a month ago, officials said. The body recovered Wednesday was found about two miles from where the Bronx River flows into the East River. Cops began searching the river after Williams, upon being confronted by the boy's 17-year-old mother about the child's whereabouts, allegedly threatened her with a knife and told her that he had thrown their son into the river. Until then, Williams' relatives said, cops had been reluctant to do much to help because the parents had joint custody, and a child off with his custodial father wasn't considered missing. But Williams was no doting dad, his own relatives said. His aunt and two cousins traded stories about how volatile Williams was to even his own mother and the mother of his child. Not even Montrell could escape his father's abuse, she said. 'Arius' mother kept calling me and telling me that he was wishing that she was dead, that he was going to stab her,' the aunt said. 'She'll die before him. He'll kill her with a pillow, or some s—t like that.' Because of his violent nature, Williams was not permitted by his own family to be alone unsupervised with Montrell, relatives said. Usually, it was Williams' mother who looked after the child, family members said. 'You can imagine why they didn't want him alone with Montrell,' Alicia, the aunt, said. 'He wouldn't change his diaper, he wouldn't go to the store. My sister did it all.' '[Arius' mother] was the one watching him, taking care of him,' said Arius' cousin Berniece. 'He didn't do s—t. He didn't raise him at all.' But Burton, the stepfather, refuted claims that Williams was violent toward his family. A police source said he has one unsealed arrest for theft of service at the Grand Concourse train station in October 2024, when he was 19. He was also arrested for shoving his girlfriend into a wall two years ago, but that case has been adjudicated and sealed, the source said. Burton acknowledged that Williams was arrested for a domestic assault incident involving Montrell's mother. But Burton said he believed the accusation was false. Burton said Williams was looking to move out of his mother's apartment and had stayed at a homeless shelter for a week prior to the Mother's Day incident. Following his stay at the shelter, Burton said Willams was acting strange, and said he believes someone gave him spiked weed while he was staying in the shelter. 'When he came back, that wasn't the same Arius.' Burton said. 'Whatever they put in his weed, it messed his brain up. I want them to give him a psych evaluation.' Berniece, his cousin, said it was more than just the marijuana. Family or not, she said she wants to see her cousin pay. 'I'm the last person he'd want to see,' she said. 'I would take his head off. There ain't no conversation between me and that boy. I hope he suffers. He better suffer. He better suffer at Rikers. I hope they beat his a–. In Rikers, they don't like that s—t. I hope they beat the s—t out of him.'
