Share this @internewscast.com

A Minnesota man was charged on Monday with killing a woman in her apartment last month.

On June 17, Hennepin County police conducting a welfare check found Kayli Arseth in her home, having suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The investigation revealed that she had recently connected online with Jose Xique, 27, whereas Arseth, 22, expressed she was not interested in a romantic relationship but was open to being friends, as reported by the Star Tribune.

“I don’t have the mental capacity for any type of relationship now,” Arseth reportedly wrote in a Snapchat message to Xique.

Neighbors reported to the police that on June 16, they overheard Arseth saying, “How could you do this to me?” during a dispute with an unidentified man. They then heard someone leaving her apartment.

Data from Xique’s phone indicated the device was located in Bloomington on June 16. Investigators found 16 bullets, an empty gauze package, disposable gloves, and clothes there. These items are thought to have been bought earlier that day, based on information from the Star Tribune.

Alarms were raised on June 17 when Arseth did not show up for work or a meetup with a friend. Police officers got a key to her apartment from management after she did not answer her door, according to KTSP.

Xique, who was arrested on Thursday, allegedly had a 9 mm gun in his home. Officers noted that he had various scratches on his body and puncture wounds on his forearm, according to KARE.

Hometown Source reported that investigators believe Xique was already at Arseth’s apartment when he messaged her to “have fun” with her friend.

“I just want to be there for you. And you say you don’t want any other relationship, but I feel like you’re just looking for something different,” he allegedly also messaged Arseth that day before apologizing for being “pushy” and saying he would “tone it back.”

Xique is charged with second-degree murder and remains jailed on $2.5 million bail. He is due in court on Tuesday.
