A tragic incident unfolded in Minnesota as a 22-year-old woman, Hallie Marie Tobler, was discovered dead from multiple stab wounds in her apartment on Saturday evening. Her husband, 23-year-old Dylan Tobler, was found inside with self-inflicted injuries.
Authorities in St. Cloud have stated that Dylan Tobler will face charges for the murder of his wife, according to reports from KNSI. He was reported to be in stable condition at St. Cloud Hospital on Sunday evening and is expected to be transferred to Stearns County jail once released.
The victim, Hallie, was the daughter of Jeff Johnson, a Republican gubernatorial candidate and former city councilman for St. Cloud. Following the incident, Jeff Johnson has suspended his political campaign.
The Minnesota Republican Party expressed deep sorrow for the Johnson family, stating, “There are no words that can adequately express the sorrow we feel for Jeff and his family,” as reported by the Minnesota Star Tribune. The party extended their thoughts and prayers to the family during their time of grief over this heart-wrenching loss.
Jeff Johnson, who recently garnered less than 1 percent in a GOP straw poll for the governor’s race, has received support from fellow politicians. The leading candidate, State House Speaker Lisa Demuth, commented, “Johnson’s family is walking through an unspeakable tragedy right now, and my prayers are with them every step of the way.”
Demuth further empathized with the Johnson family, remarking, “As a parent, I can’t imagine the grief and devastation they’re experiencing right now. Please join me in keeping the Johnsons in our thoughts and prayers as they navigate a situation that no family should have to endure.”
