Mayhem in the neighborhood -- an update

So a lot of us here in the quiet northern suburbs were trying to figure out why someone would get gunned down at a gas station in Arden Hills. We have an idea now:
For more than a decade, Kelly Phillips and Lyle “Ty” Hoffman had a personal and professional relationship.

On Monday morning, long after both had soured, Phillips, a 48-year-old executive with Boston Scientific, lay dead on the pavement of an Arden Hills gas station and Hoffman was on the run, identified by police as a suspect in the slaying.

Authorities didn’t say Tuesday why Hoffman, a 44-year-old commercial developer, is suspected in the gruesome shooting death. He and Phillips had operated a northeast Minneapolis nightspot together, and they had lived together up until about three years ago.

As of Tuesday night, no one had been arrested and Hoffman’s whereabouts were unknown.

These cases where a man comes out and divorces his wife after fathering children with her perplex me. Indicates that there's a lot more besides genetics going on with homosexuality, to put it mildly.

I'm guessing, by the way, that the perp will not stand trial because he's dead. The question is where they'll find the body IMO.
