Thomas Edward Luetzow, 58, was shot to death on June 23, 2017, at the Public Mini Storage on Hedberg Drive in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide, listing gunshot wounds to the head and neck as the cause.

The shooting followed an altercation between Luetzow and 65-year-old James LaCount. LaCount told police Luetzow attacked him, knocking him to the ground and attempting to gouge out his eye, and that he shot Luetzow in self-defense. LaCount was arrested at the scene and released pending investigation. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office later declined to file charges, finding evidence supported LaCount’s claim. Authorities noted Luetzow had prior incidents of assault and disorderly conduct, including assaults on neighbors over noise complaints.

Does anyone have additional details about the dispute at the storage facility or witnessed the events that day?
