A Windom man convicted of murder remains at large as of Wednesday afternoon, and is believed to be armed with two guns.
Ralph Apmann, 58, posted bail after being charged with killing Juan Morales-Rivera in August 2021 in Windom, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tweeted Tuesday. He failed to appear for trial Monday.
On Tuesday a jury in Cottonwood County found Apmann guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, the bureau tweeted.
The BCA posted an "attempt to locate" notice on Twitter Monday and said agents believe he is armed with a 9mm handgun and an AR-15 rifle.
Investigators with the BCA and Windom Police Department believe he could be in the Twin Cities metro area. The BCA advised anyone who sees Apmann not to approach him.
"BCA agents and Windom Police Department investigators continue to pursue tips and leads and encourage anyone with information on Mr. Apmann's whereabouts to call 911," BCA spokeswoman Jill Oliveira said Wednesday.
He's described by authorities as 5 feet 10 inches tall and 230 pounds, with hazel eyes. He is balding with gray hair.
