A young woman has met a horrific end after she told a US Army reserve who had a crush on her that she only wanted to be friends.
Prosecutors have said Jose Luis Lopez Xique, 27, shot Kayli Grace Arseth, 22, in a bloody attack at her Minnesota home on June 16 after they met online.
Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed one count of second-degree intentional murd£r against Lopez Xique on Monday, July 7.
The office said messages between the suspect and victim showed that Lopez Xique was “asking for a romantic relationship” despite “Arseth making clear that she was only interested in friendship.”
During the investigation, police uncovered a grisly bag of discarded items at the crime scene in Arseth’s home located in Richfield, southern Minneapolis. It included ammunition, an empty box of gauze, disposable gloves, a pair of shoes, a hat, wipes, masking tape, and rubber gloves.
