Vance Boelter, the suspect in Saturday’s shooting in Minneapolis, worked at two local funeral homes “to help pay the bills” according to a video of him posted on social media. Though the date and original source of the video are unclear, it’s apparently a self-made introduction for a course involving mortuary work.

In the video, Boelter said he worked for funeral homes removing bodies from crime scenes, nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and that he worked with police officers and the medical examiner’s office of Hennepin County, Minnesota. The owner of one of the funeral homes, Metro First Call, told CNN Boelter was employed from August 2023 to February of this year when he left voluntarily.

Boelter did not mention the security company Praetorian Guard Security Services, which was registered to his home address, and listed him as director of security patrols. Instead, he talked of being invited to the Democratic Republic of Congo to “see what I could do for ideas and helping their food supply system.”

CNN previously reported that Boelter was an outspoken evangelical Christian who traveled to Africa, where he preached at a church on several occasions between 2021 and 2023.

Boelter said in the video that he worked in the food industry for decades but decided to quit.

“I talked with my wife and we decided I’d just put in my two-week notice and we’d just go off on our own to try to do these projects to help out in Africa,” Boelter said, adding that he had five children.

A long-time friend of Boelter’s told CNN he was recently having financial problems, possibly due to his travels to Africa.

In the video, Boelter also said he had taken mortuary classes at Des Moines Community College, which told CNN he took classes there in 2023 and 2024.

In a post on his LinkedIn page last month, Boelter said he was looking for a job in the food industry once again.
