Justin Paul Reinarts, a 50-year-old White man, was killed in the predawn darkness of November 2, 2025, inside a home on the 100 block of Blessum Street West in Hanska, Minnesota. Deputies responded after a 911 call from a 13-year-old who reported waking to shouting and a gunshot; first responders found Reinarts and a woman, Tabitha Leigh Trescott, dead from gunshot wounds. The child later described seeing a man in the hallway holding a long gun who ordered the child back into a bedroom.

Law enforcement identified Randy Thomas Zimmerman of Courtland as the suspect, described in charging documents and reporting as Trescott’s ex-boyfriend and accused of forcing his way into the house and shooting both victims. Zimmerman was located and captured in Iowa after an hourslong, multijurisdictional search that included an alleged high-speed flight and, according to reporting, an allegation he fired at a deputy before being taken into custody.

A grand jury subsequently returned multiple counts, including first-degree murder, and court coverage noted significant bail conditions as the case proceeded toward the pretrial phase. Does anyone in the Hanska area have information about the victims, the household, or the events that morning?
