In the early morning of March 18, 2026, 44-year-old Jennifer Sue Marsaw was found fatally shot in her Circle Pines, Minnesota home on Ryan Place. A 911 call from one of her children just before 1 a.m. brought Centennial Lakes Police and the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office to the scene. Jennifer died of a gunshot wound to the chest; her 5-year-old son, Marzai Andrew Dawson, suffered critical injuries and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Authorities identified 53-year-old Irving Van Marsaw of Minneapolis as the suspect and described him as Jennifer’s estranged partner. Family accounts say an argument the previous day had forced him to leave the home, and Jennifer had earlier sought restraining orders alleging threats to her and her children. After the shooting, Irving fled into nearby woods, was captured after a search including a K-9 unit, and officers recovered a 9mm handgun along his route of flight. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder with intent.

Are there neighbors or anyone who saw activity around Ryan Place the night of March 17–18 who can help clarify what happened?
