Vance Boelter pleads guilty in federal court in connection with the shootings that killed Minnesota state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Multiple reports say prosecutors enter a plea arrangement under which the federal government does not seek the death penalty. The plea deal resolves the federal case for Boelter, but it does not end his legal exposure. He still faces additional charges in Minnesota state court, where proceedings continue. During the proceedings, the victims’ families and others attend the hearing, watching as Boelter admits to the killings. The case centers on the deaths of Hortman and her husband, with the plea agreement described as removing the possibility of a federal death sentence while leaving open other outcomes tied to state-level charges. Authorities and court documents discussed in the reports outline the federal posture and the status of ongoing state proceedings.
