As the FBI intensifies its manhunt for Vance Boelter, the man named as a suspect in the horrific weekend shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers, new details have surfaced about his professional background — and they are deeply unsettling.
Boelter, currently on the FBI’s Most Wanted list and the subject of a $50,000 reward, is described in his company’s bio as having received training from U.S. military personnel and having global experience in high-risk security zones — raising serious questions about how dangerous he might be if not apprehended quickly.
Security Profile Reveals Alarming Global Reach
According to a now-scrutinized profile on Praetorian Guard Security Services — where Boelter is listed as the Director of Security Patrols — he has reportedly been involved in security operations across:
- Eastern Europe
- Africa
- North America
- The Middle East, including conflict zones like:
- The West Bank
- Southern Lebanon
- The Gaza Strip
The company claims Boelter has worked with private security contractors and trained with U.S. military professionals, though it does not confirm whether he officially served in the armed forces.

⚠️ Important Note: These claims have not been independently verified, and it’s unclear who wrote or published the profile. Still, it paints a chilling portrait of a suspect whose experience may make him exceptionally skilled at evading capture.
Corporate Ties and Tactical Gear Operation
Boelter reportedly operates Praetorian Guard Security Services alongside his wife, Jenny Boelter, who serves as the company’s CEO.
According to the company website and images shared on social media:
- The firm offers a wide range of security services
- It outfits personnel in tactical military-style gear
- Its fleet includes SUVs equipped with flashing emergency lights
This detail is especially disturbing in light of reports that the suspect posed as a police officer, complete with a car mimicking a patrol cruiser, to approach and ambush his victims.
The Attack That Shocked Minnesota
On Saturday morning, a man dressed as a law enforcement officer drove to the homes of Minnesota Assemblywoman Melissa Hortman and State Senator John Hoffman.
- Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were fatally shot.
- Senator Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were both hit by multiple bullets and rushed to the hospital.
CNN later reported that Yvette Hoffman shielded their daughter from the gunfire — an act of immense courage during a terrifying moment. Both survivors have undergone surgery and are now in stable condition.
A Manifesto and More Targets
Investigators say they’ve recovered a manifesto allegedly written by the shooter, which named several other political targets. Among those listed:
- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
- U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar
- And “dozens of others,” according to law enforcement sources.
This revelation suggests the shooting may have been part of a broader politically-motivated plot.
Boelter’s International Resume Raises Security Concerns
The resurfaced company profile also claims Boelter has worked with large corporations in the United States, Switzerland, and Japan.
“His experience ensures the security service provided covers the needs you have to keep your family and property safe,” the profile reads — now viewed with a far darker context following the attack.
TMZ has reached out to Jenny Boelter for comment. So far, she has not responded.
The Manhunt Continues
With the FBI offering a $50,000 reward, officials are urging the public to report any sightings of Boelter immediately by calling 911. He is considered armed, dangerous, and highly trained — and should not be approached.
