A Monticello man has been charged with murder in a fatal shooting in Prior Lake.
Tyler Schlotfeldt-Gidney, 28, was arrested Friday in the shooting death of Justin Capri Boyland,28, of Minneapolis. A woman was with Boyland at the time of the shooting. She told police Schlotfeldt-Gidney is the father of her 3-year-old daughter, and that she was in a relationship with Boyland and has a 3-month-old son with him, according to a criminal complaint.
Schlotfeldt-Gidney was charged Monday in Scott County with second-degree murder and possessing a firearm after being convicted of a crime of violence.
Prior Lake police responded around 4:30 p.m. Thursday to reports of a shooting at 15651 Skuya Dr. NW. in Spring Lake Regional Park, according to the complaint.
They found Boyland on the ground outside a black SUV with a gunshot wound to the upper right leg. Officers provided aid and were joined by emergency medical responders before taking him to a hospital.
Boyland died two days later in the hospital.
The woman was meeting with Schlotfeldt-Gidney to discuss their daughter, and Boyland accompanied her because her ex "has been physical with her in the past," the complaint said.
She parked her vehicle in a lot next to Schlotfeldt-Gidney, who got out of his vehicle. The woman reported hearing gunshots as Boyland exited their vehicle.
