Joseph Kroll, 31, was killed and a 31-year-old woman, Chelsey Crawford, was seriously injured in a violent double shooting inside a Brainerd, Minnesota, apartment on the evening of Sunday, January 4, 2015. Both victims suffered apparent gunshot wounds to the head and were taken to a local hospital; Kroll later died and Crawford was conscious and talking when transported and required surgery.

Brainerd police identified two suspects, 23-year-old Tyler Cronquist and 26-year-old Nathan Becker, and warned the public while searching for them. One man was arrested at a SuperAmerica gas station just after 10 p.m. and the other surrendered about an hour later. According to the criminal complaint, Crawford said both men were in her apartment when Kroll arrived, she heard a loud noise after leaving the living room, and on returning found Kroll on the floor; she said Cronquist then shot her in the head before he and Becker fled.

Charges were filed against both men and both were being held at the Crow Wing County Jail on a $1,000,000 bond. Does anyone have information about Joseph, Chelsey, or the night of January 4 that could help clarify what happened?
