Shakopee PD has confirmed that Alexis Saborit is in custody related to yesterday's homicide in which it appeared the victim was beheaded. As we alluded last night, Saborit was ordered to have a mental illness evaluation related to arson charges last fall. Continued...
.
4/ A source tells us that Saborit's 2017 gross misdemeanor conviction on domestic assault was against the same victim Saborit allegedly murdered yesterday.
In that case, Saborit received a stay-of-imposition from Judge Eric J. Braaten and was placed on probation.
.
.
5/ Court docs appear to confirm that the domestic abuse victim in the 2017 case had the initials A.T., same as yesterday's homicide victim.
Court records state that the victim & Saborit had been dating for 7 years at that point. He thought she had spoken to another man at a bar.
6/ Court records indicate that Saborit has two separate prior criminal convictions on domestic abuse-battery in in Jefferson Parrish, Louisiana.
7/ Friends on Facebook are posting pictures allegedly of the victim America Thayer.
8/ People are questioning the image of the suspect from the video in comparison to the mugshot.
In a prior court document, Saborit was described as being 6' tall and 154 lbs, so tall and skinny.
9/ The video quality is not great. If you slow down the video, his lower arms appear to be lighter skinned. He could have something dark on his head.
.
The Medical Examiner has officially identified America Mafalda Thayer, 55, as the victim in this homicide stating she died due to decapitation with multiple sharp and blunt force injuries and manner of death is homicide.
.
.
ICE confirms that Alexis Saborit was in the US illegally.
Saborit had an ICE detainer notated in his 2017 domestic assault case.
This means that authorities who had the authority to do something about that did nothing about it.

Just for clarity... Judge Richard C. Perkins knew Saborit was an illegal alien with a violent history and suspected mental illness and STILL RELEASED HIM FROM CUSTODY prior to the murder of America Thayer.

Here's a good summary on Alexis Saborit's history up to and including the beheading of America Thayer.
