A 39-year-old man is in custody after Minnetonka police found a 72-year-old man dead inside a home early this morning, authorities shared.
Captain Andy Gardner with the Minnetonka Police Department gave an update on the man they found dead, who was described as having traumatic injuries.
“The 72-year-old man died of what looks to be traumatic injuries. And there is evidence at the scene that he died at the hands of his son,” Gardner said.
The home is on the 5000 block of Holiday Road, which Gardner said the man and his family lived in for more than three decades.
“My understanding is that the entire family was long-term residents of that address. Thirty-plus years or so,” Gardner said.
The police have not yet released the names of the victim or the suspect, though they are believed to be father and son. The case remains under investigation.
