The best friend and roommate of suspected political assassin Vance Boelter said that he got a chilling final text message from the suspected killer saying he would soon be dead just hours after Saturday’s bloodbath, a report said.
David Carlson revealed that Boetler texted at about 6 a.m. Saturday, shortly after former Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed and Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were shot.
Boetler texted that he would be dead shortly and that he loved him, local KARE reported.
Carlson immediately called authorities fearing that Boelter may have hurt himself, according to that report.
When asked about the political leanings of Boetler, Carlson revealed that — despite once being a political appointee of the state’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz — the alleged killer is a strong supporter of President Donald Trump, but that he was not aware of his feelings on state politics, the report stated.
Boelter lived at the home in North Minneapolis just a few days a week, according to the roommates, and was not there at the time officers executed a search warrant on Saturday.
