We're told there was significant law enforcement activity at the Chanhassen autoplex facility this morning.
We're checking for conformation on the details.
2/ Likely related.
Details of the death and circumstances are not confirmed.
Other posts indicate his specialized vehicle is still missing.
3/
What we've been able to piece together... Part of this took place in Minneapolis overnight and may also be connected to a shooting or death (or other incident) in Chanhassen prior to that.
The above person, Daniel, was apparently found deceased in a downtown Minneapolis apt/condo this morning on Washington Ave S. after being the subject of a welfare check overnight. He was named as the shooter in the Chanhassen incident (which has not yet been disclosed by authorities).
Neighbor from Hell, thread. 1/ John Herber Sawchak, DOB: 05.19.1970
Currently wanted on at least two warrants. One is an assault case from 2022, the other is a civil mental health case where Sawchak was deemed "mentally ill and dangerous."
2/ A police report was made in March in a separate assault case with another neighbor. Formal charges have yet to be filed because Mary Moriarty's office declined to charge a felony. Now the city attorney will review for possible lesser charges.
The same victim has had numerous run-ins with Sawchak as evidenced by the pile of MPD blue cards they've collected.
