On January 19, 2026, at 8:19 A.M., law enforcement officers were dispatched to a residence in Minnetonka, Hennepin County, Minnesota on a report that a male was threatening to kill his parents. Dispatch could hear a male voice yelling, “I’ll kill you before they get there.” Upon arrival, two individuals ran out of the residence and were identified as K. B. And A. B.

He had a significant cut to his finger that was bleeding. Inside the home, an officer observed a large hole near the main entry door. There was blood splatter near the hole. A broken lamp and broken glass were also located on the floor. K. B. Reported that his son is a drug user and that this is not the first time he has become violent and threatened to kill them. While sitting in the living room, BOST became upset with his parents because his car broke down and he left his cellphone in an Uber. He was demanding his parents buy him a new phone and give him money to fix his car.
