Minneapolis — Vance Boelter pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday to charges tied to the June 14, 2025 shootings that killed former Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, at their Brooklyn Park home and wounded State Senator John Hoffman and his wife in Champlin; the plea followed Justice Department notification it would not pursue the death penalty. The plea agreement includes prosecutors' recommendation of two life sentences plus 40 years and a concession by federal authorities not to seek capital punishment; state murder and attempted murder charges remain pending while local officials increased patrols this one-year anniversary weekend and investigators continue to cite evidence found in the suspect's vehicle, including a silicone mask, a vehicle plate reading "Police," and a list of more than 45 legislators.
