Richard Anthony Balsimo, a 34-year-old father of three from Saint Paul, was killed on June 20, 2021. His remains were found dismembered in gallon totes at the bottom of Lake Superior on July 15, 2021, nearly a month after he was reported missing. The medical examiner ruled the death homicidal violence and listed a gunshot wound to the torso as the cause of death.

Police allege Jacob Johnson shot Balsimo following a dispute while they were in a car, and that Johnson and others dismembered the body and disposed of the remains in Lake Superior. Reports say Robert West assisted with dismemberment and disposal, and Tommi Hintz was implicated as well. Significant criminal charges and convictions have been reported in connection with the case.

What additional information do readers have about Balsimo’s last known movements or anyone who may have seen him in Saint Paul in June 2021?
