Officer Ryan Bialke, 37, was killed on July 27, 2021, while responding to a welfare check in Redby, Minnesota. Bialke had served with the Red Lake Tribal Police Department for six years. Officers went to the home of David Brian Donnell after reports that Donnell was armed and suicidal and discovered he had an active warrant. When officers decided to breach the door after Donnell refused to come out, Bialke kicked the door in and was struck by multiple rounds fired by Donnell. Four other officers were also fired upon; they returned fire and escaped to the woods before Donnell fled the scene and was later apprehended at a nearby residence. Bialke was a husband and father of four.
