A Minnesota man is in custody after allegedly shooting two state lawmakers and their spouses, killing two Saturday morning. 

Vance Luther Boelter, 57, was captured in Sibley County after a two-day manhunt and now faces state and federal murder charges, among other crimes.

He is accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, and her husband, Mark, early Saturday morning at their Brooklyn Park home in Minneapolis. He also allegedly shot state Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home in a related attack. 

The Sibley County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Boelter “verbally” identified himself to authorities searching for him in the area on Sunday evening.

“The face of evil,” the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post Sunday, along with a photo of Boelter’s capture. “After relentless and determined police work, the killer is now in custody. Thanks to the dedication of multiple agencies working together along with support from the community, justice is one step closer.”

In the days since the shootings, officials have released more information in court records, establishing a clearer timeline of events:
