Tyler Wesley Hunt

On March 16, 2026, at approximately 11:34 P.M., police responded to an apartment at [ADDRESS REDACTED], Roseville, Ramsey County, Minnesota. The caller, CMW, reported that she was raped and strangled. Dispatch reported hearing a male in the background yelling and cussing at CMW, and CMW was telling the male to get away. Upon arrival, CMW came downstairs to let officers into the building. CMW was wearing only a t-shirt and bathrobe. CMW was distraught and had a difficult time telling officers what took place.

CMW reported that the person who assaulted her was Tyler, later fully identified as TYLER WESLEY HUNT – [DOB REDACTED], and CMW directed police to the apartment where HUNT and her five month old baby were inside. CMW was concerned about her baby and said HUNT would not give her the baby. Police made several loud announcements calling HUNT by name and directing him to exit the apartment. HUNT did not answer the door or respond to attempts to reach him by phone. Eventually, police forced entry into the apartment.

HUNT was located inside holding the baby and taken into custody. HUNT had blood on the tip of his nose and scratches on his neck and arms. Police observed that CMW had dried blood on the right side of her head, inside her right ear, and behind her right ear. In addition, CMW had bruising on her right collarbone, dried blood on her middle finger knuckle on her left hand, a bruise/scrape on her right shin, bruising on her upper right thigh, and bruising on her upper/middle left thigh. CMW said that HUNT attacked her sexually and she tried to fight him off, but he wouldn’t let her go.

CMW reported that she hurt all over her body. CMW said HUNT has a drinking problem and drank too much then started making sexual passes at her. CMW stated that she did not want to have sex with HUNT and she fought back at him, but CMW said HUNT strangled her repeatedly until she lost consciousness. CMW reported that she has been in a relationship with HUNT for two years and they share the five month old baby. While in the ambulance, CMW said she was packing up her things in the apartment and getting ready for boxes that were supposed to be there the next day.

CMW reported that HUNT kept yelling at her then “pounced” on her in the baby’s room. CMW said the last thing she remembered was HUNT hitting her on the head then grabbing her throat as she flailed her arms and used her nails to scratch him and push him away until she lost consciousness. When she woke up, CMW said she called the police and HUNT kept screaming. Following a Miranda advisory, HUNT told police that he and CMW went to a doctor’s appointment for their child [NAME REDACTED]. When they got home, HUNT said CMW went to the liquor store and purchased a bottle of vodka.

HUNT reported that CMW had approximately six to eight shots of vodka before dinner. After dinner, HUNT said he bought a bottle of saki. HUNT reported drinking six glasses of saki then falling asleep on the couch. HUNT said he woke up to CMW attacking him. HUNT reported that he was punched in the nose and scratched on his neck. HUNT said he grabbed CMW’s wrists to stop her from hitting him and “hugged” her by wrapping his arms around her in an attempt to control her. HUNT stated that CMW ran out of the room in a bathrobe screaming for help.
