• Family of Bryce Hayes questions placement decisions after son's brutal murder in crisis residence (kare11.com) — A young man killed at a Minneapolis crisis residence had been just days away from moving into his first independent home in Eagan, according to his family. They're now questioning why a resident with a recent violent history was housed so close to him and whether better staffing or decisions could have prevented the attack. The facility's operator says it cannot comment during the ongoing investigation.
