Authorities on Sunday found Lance Boelter’s vehicle abandoned in Sibley County, Minnesota near the intersection of Minnesota Highway 25 and 301st Avenue in Faxon Township..
According to FOX9 a separate vehicle designed to look like a police cruiser was found at Boelter’s residence after the shooting spree on Saturday.
Brian Enton from Newsnation reported that neighbors heard gunshots in the area early Sunday morning.
Boelter’s cowboy hat was also found in the area.
57‑year‑old Vance Luther Boelter allegedly carried out a coordinated, politically motivated assault targeting Minnesota Democrats.
Boelter was appointed by Governor Tim Walz in 2019 to serve on the Minnesota Workforce Development Board — a multi-member advisory body focused on statewide workforce policy.
Authorities launched a large-scale manhunt after Boelter, disguised as a police officer, fatally shot former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife in their homes.
During the investigation, police allegedly discovered a hit list in Boelter’s imposter-police SUV. That list contained roughly 70 names — among them Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Tina Smith, abortion providers, and radical Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
