A Cambridge man has been charged with murdering his father at a hunting lodge in Hinckley on Friday 15 November.

Kirk Edward Hazlett III, 31, faces two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of kidnapping and one count of first-degree burglary.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Pine County District Court, deputies responded to the shooting around 8:44 p.m. on Nov. 15. The 911 caller said two men came to his home and said Hazlett shot his father, Kirk Edward Hazlett II. , 62.

The two men directed investigators to the hunting cabin where the shooting occurred and found the victim deceased with multiple gunshot wounds.

Hazlett’s uncle told police that he, another man and the victim were finishing dinner when they saw someone enter the property with a gun on the surveillance camera. He went to get his gun and heard three shots.

Court documents show that when the man returned, he saw Hazlett standing inside the cabin with a gun. He said the victim was still alive at this point because he could see him breathing.

Hazlett’s uncle said Hazlett told them to go sit on the couch and then shoot his father one more time in the back of the head to make sure he was dead. Hazlett then took the two men’s cellphones and let them go.

Hazlett’s uncle also told investigators that Hazlett and his father “did not get along and had not for a very long time” and that Hazlett “did not have a good relationship with their family,” court documents state.

The other man told police that Hazlett “came in with a mission … he came in to kill (the victim).” He added that Hazlett shot his father “execution style.”

Around 9:18 p.m. that night, Hazlett called Isanti County police to report that his girlfriend was making suicidal comments. Isanti County officials contacted Pine County officials and tracked his phone to State Highway 48 — about eight miles from the hunting cabin.

Court documents note that a month before the shooting, first responders were called to the cabin after Hazlett had been drinking and threatening his father. Hazlett was broken into from the property.

An autopsy of the victim showed that he had been shot nine times.
