Marcus Lee Roberts, 35, of Bloomington, Minnesota, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of December 9, 2015, at the Bluefin Bay Resort in Tofte while working at the resort’s employee holiday party for a gaming company. Roberts, a father of five, was involved in an altercation with 61-year-old resort employee Kirk Lee Bigby, who delivered firewood to guest rooms. During the dispute Bigby produced a handgun and fatally shot Roberts.

Law enforcement responded to the resort; Bigby was found in a room, taken into custody and a firearm was recovered. He was charged with second-degree murder, initially claimed self-defense at a court appearance, and later pleaded guilty to the shooting. The case concluded with Bigby sentenced for the killing, leaving a grieving family and community behind.
