The bodies of Melissa and Mark Hortman, who were killed by a gunman in their home over the weekend, were transported Tuesday afternoon in a formal procession from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office in Minnetonka to a south Minneapolis funeral home.
The Hortman family gathered at the Medical Examiner’s Office before the Hortmans’ remains were escorted by several law enforcement vehicles to the Washburn-McReavy Davies Uptown Chapel in south Minneapolis.
Melissa Hortman, the longtime leader of the Minnesota House DFL Caucus, was shot dead in her home early Saturday along with her husband, Mark. Vance Boelter, 57, has been charged in their deaths and the attempted murders of Minnesota Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
The procession traveled primarily along I-494 N and I-394 E.
