In a tragic incident on Saturday evening, a 22-year-old woman from Minnesota was discovered dead in her apartment with multiple stab wounds. Her husband, also found inside the apartment, was injured with wounds he had inflicted upon himself.
Authorities in St. Cloud announced that 23-year-old Dylan Tobler is set to face charges for the murder of his wife, Hallie Marie Tobler, as reported by KNSI. After receiving treatment at St. Cloud Hospital and being declared stable on Sunday, Dylan Tobler is expected to be transferred to the Stearns County Jail.
Hallie was the daughter of Jeff Johnson, a Republican candidate for governor and former St. Cloud city council member. Following the tragic event, Johnson has halted his campaign activities.
The Minnesota Republican Party expressed profound condolences, as noted by the Minnesota Star Tribune. They stated, “Words fall short in conveying the deep sorrow we feel for Jeff and his family. Losing a child is an unimaginable pain, and we extend our thoughts and prayers to them during this heart-wrenching time.”
In a recent GOP straw poll for the gubernatorial race, Johnson received less than one percent of the votes. State House Speaker Lisa Demuth, who emerged as the frontrunner, expressed her sympathy, acknowledging that Johnson’s family is enduring an “unspeakable tragedy” and assured them of her continual prayers.
“As a parent, I can’t imagine the grief and devastation they’re experiencing right now,” she said. “Please join me in keeping the Johnsons in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate a situation that no family should have to endure.”
