The Minnesota man being sought in connection with the Saturday morning assassination of a state lawmaker and the shooting of another runs a security company and has ties to the Middle East and Africa, online biographies showed.
Vance Luther Boelter lists himself on LinkedIn as the CEO of the Red Lion Group, which is based in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He also worked with Minnesota Africans United, a statewide organization working with African immigrants in the state, according to a now deleted biography on the group’s web site.
In 2022, Boelter participated as a keynote speaker in his capacity as CEO of Red Lion Group for a seminar held jointly by the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Minnesota Africans United and Global Minnesota, video showed.
Boetler conducted the call from Moanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo and spoke of the Red Lion Group’s ventures in the African nation.
“This all started back in 2019, when my partner, McNay Nkashama, brought in the ambassador from the DRC to Minnesota, and we had meetings, the bulk of them in Minneapolis but the bulk of them that I was at was in Worthington, Minnesota where we made those connections,” Boetler said.
The suspected assassin spoke about plans for several agricultural pilot projects in the DRC that he believed would “create a lot of jobs fast” and “serve as a model” for future investors into the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He claimed to have business ventures in fishing, farming, media, security, and motorcycle-taxis all within the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Former appointee of Tim Walz sought in ‘politically motivated assassination’ of lawmaker and husband — as police reveal ‘hit list’ of 70
It’s disinfo. This guy was on an African development group with Mark Ritchie. He was probably murdered and his car stolen and the deal done that night. He’s probably at the bottom of a lake somewhere.
The shooter had a full face mask on and looked much thinner than Boetler. This is all theatre. Boetler was almost 60 and outshot and outran a cop, and now he lives on the other side of town with roommates? This is the Las Vegas shooting all over again.
Interrupted during the second hit. 70 seems pretty optimistic.
He knows way to much to be taken alive.
He was a gay Walz appointee whom the democrats are trying to paint as a MAGA extremist.
Ping.
I want to hear more about the “businesses”. They could be part of a fantasy that he was trying to pass into a reality.
No evidence for this. Just a thought.
Any word on the wife and kids?
Exactly. No way this fat effete ladyman became Rambo.
