Prosecutors in Hennepin County say a dispute over a lawn mower led to a fatal shooting.
Sixty-one-year-old Edward Holzinger, of Minneapolis, is charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of his neighbor. Holzinger is expected to make his first court appearance Friday. Prosecutors are asking for $1 million bail.
According to the criminal complaint, Holzinger shot his neighbor, 47-year-old Bruce Brown, Tuesday night because they had been feuding over a lawn mower.
Authorities say Holzinger shot Brown while standing on his front porch, placed the handgun on a living room chair and went outside to wait for police.
