WYOMING, Minn. — Editor's Note: The video above, a training symposium involving domestic abuse, first aired on June 20, 2023.
Police in the city of Wyoming have a suspect in custody hours after a woman was run over following what is described as a domestic dispute.
Chief Neil Bauer said squads were dispatched to the Holiday State Store at 26720 Kettle River Boulevard around 10:45 p.m. Thursday on reports of a vehicle versus pedestrian accident. When officers arrived they learned that a woman had been struck by a vehicle following what was described as a domestic disturbance.
Police, Wyoming Fire first responders and paramedics started lifesaving measures immediately but the victim did not survive.
The victim is described as a 51-year-old woman from St. Paul. Her identity is being withheld until the family is notified.
Witnesses said the suspect fled the scene in what is only described as a white pickup truck. Police were conducting a search when the 37-year-old man called them and said he wanted to meet with officers at his house in Wyoming. Squads went to the residence and safely took the man into custody. His vehicle was located nearby.
Wyoming police are being assisted in the investigation by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the Chisago County Sheriff's Office and the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office.
