Paul Scholl, a 50-year-old husband and father from Bemidji, died during a hunting trip in Mahnomen County on November 8, 2014. Local law enforcement and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigated the scene, examined physical and forensic evidence, and took statements to reconstruct what happened that day.

In spring 2016 the agencies concluded their review and announced that Scholl’s death was the result of an accidental shooting while he was hunting. Authorities ruled out criminal intent or foul play, closed the case, and no arrests were made.

If anyone has information about Paul Scholl or the events of November 8, 2014, that was not part of the investigation, please share what is known.
