Four killed in shootings


"Minot, N.D. The victims of a quadruple slaying were a woman, two of her children and her boyfriend; all four suffered gunshot wounds, police said Saturday....."


Breaking news....

(Note: This is the only article I can find and the restrictions on reprinting it are strict. Hopefully, by morning, there will be more info.)
 
so sad - a whole family struck down :(


<snip>

Sabrina Zephier, 19, was found dead after police received a call about "a woman down and bloody" at an apartment Friday afternoon, police said in a statement Saturday.

Less than an hour later, a similar call came in about a boy lying on the floor bleeding from the mouth in a trailer southeast of town. Police responded and found three more victims: Zephier's mother, Jolene Zephier, 38; her brother, Dylan Zephier, 13; and Jolene Zephier's boyfriend, Jeremy Longie, 22, said Minot Police Capt. Dan Strandberg.

Police are saying only that they have located a "person of interest" in the case. They are stating that no one has been arrested, and will not confirm that there is anyone in custody of any sort or even being questioned.

They are stating unequivocally, however, that there is not a shooter on the loose.

i googled the daughter and found her sister's public myspace. Sabrina just had a baby over the summer. I wonder if the baby was at the apartment when she was found. I hope not...
 
I see no mention of the infant. Very odd. I also noted that Sabrina has a twin sister, who must not have been at the home.
 
Man connected to four shooting deaths in custody

http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/...four-shooting-deaths-in-custody.html?nav=5010

A man with a connection to the family found murdered in Minot on Jan. 28 is being held by immigration officials.

According to Kevin Larson, a corrections officer with the Ward County Jail, Omar Mohamed Kalmio was held in the jail Tuesday and Wednesday.

"He got here Feb. 1, at 3:19 p.m., that's when they booked him in," Larson said Wednesday night. "He was released (Wednesday) at 12:35 p.m."

Kalmio was then picked up by agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Larson said. He added that he did not know the specific reason ICE has Kalmio in their custody except that he was "on a hold for immigration."

"He was a hold through immigration," Larson said. "When they have a hold, they don't need a specific charge."

Kalmio is the father of the infant found alive in the Minot residence of Sabrina Zephier, 19. Zephier was found dead there on the afternoon of Jan. 28. An hour later, the bodies of Zephier's mother, 39-year-old Jolene Zephier, her brother, Dillon Zephier, 13, and Jolene's boyfriend, Jeremy Longie, 22, were found at Jolene's home in the Jefferson Mobile Home Court.
 
Immigration Catch-22 unfolding in N.D. slayings

A person of interest in Minot case was on supervised release because he couldn't be deported to Somalia and he couldn't be held indefinitely.

If he had been from almost any other country, the former convict from the Twin Cities called a "person of interest" in the fatal shooting of four people in Minot, N.D., probably would have been deported before the killings occurred.

But the 26-year-old man is a native of Somalia. Because Somalia has no government, U.S. officials cannot deport people there. But officials also could not hold him after his release from federal custody in May 2010, following an assault conviction. Generally, officials are prohibited from detaining criminal aliens longer than six months after their release from custody.

So the man, who once lived in the Twin Cities and who recently had been splitting time between Minot and the oil fields of Williston, N.D., was on supervised release when the mother of his child and three others were killed last week.
 
A Somali man charged in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old woman in northwest North Dakota is now accused of killing her mother, brother and the mother's boyfriend, who were found dead the same day in mobile home across town.

Omar Mohamed Kalmio, 27, who has a history of violent crime, was charged with murder several months after his infant daughter's mother, Sabrina Zephier, was found dead at her home in Minot in January 2011. The baby was found in the home unharmed.

So this accused murderer of 4 people is in the United States under political asylum, working in the oil fields making a lot of money amd he murders 4 people. IF he ever gets out of jail, I hope he is deported.

MINOT | A Somali man accused of killing the mother of his child and three other people in Minot last year has pleaded not guilty to murder in all of the deaths.

Omar Mohamed Kalmio, 27, is accused of killing Sabrina Zephier, the 19-year-old mother of his infant daughter; along with Zephier's 13-year-old brother, Dillon Zephier; 38-year-old mother, Jolene Zephier; and Jolene's 22-year-old boyfriend, Jeremy Longie, The Zephiers were members of South Dakota's Yankton Sioux Tribe.

Kalmio's trial is set to begin Oct. 15. Court documents indicate it is expected to last three weeks. Judge Douglas Mattson on Tuesday told attorneys he will be sending questionnaires to nearly 200 potential jurors by the end of the week.

Suspect pleads not guilty to murdering members of Yankton Sioux Tribe

Kalmio is a Somali national who says he is in the country under political asylum. He was arrested last August at the jail in Grand Forks, where he had been held since February 2011 for an alleged immigration violation stemming from a 2006 assault conviction in a Minneapolis stabbing.

"A Somali national serving four life sentences in a quadruple homicide in Minot in 2011 is once again appealing a lower court’s denial for post-conviction relief.

Kalmio originally applied for post-conviction relief in 2014, claiming ineffective counsel, though the district court denied the request in 2017. In 2018, the State Supreme Court reached a split decision on Kalmio’s appeals. The high court upheld two of the lower’s rulings but remanded a third one back to the lower court regarding whether Kalmio’s appellate counsel prejudiced his appeal.

The district court again ruled against Kalmio, and again he appealed that ruling to the high court. Kalmio contends his appellate counsel mishandled the admissibility of prior bad acts, and the court should have granted him an evidentiary hearing."
