CNN confirmed that Boelter works for Praetorian Guard Security where he serves as director of security patrols and has received training from U.S. military personnel.

On the company website, Boelter’s wife is listed as president and CEO, while he serves as director of security patrols. The homepage advertises armed security for property and events, featuring photos of an SUV painted in a two-tone black and silver pattern similar to a police vehicle, with a light bar across the roof and “Praetorian” painted across the doors. Another photo shows a man in black tactical gear with a military-style helmet and ballistic vest.

According to Minnesota Africans United (MAU), he holds a doctorate in Leadership for the Advancement of Learning and Service from Cardinal Stritch University and has worked for major corporations including Nestle, Del Monte, and Marathon Speedway.

Corporate records obtained by AP show Boelter’s wife filed to create Praetorian Guard Security Services LLC with the same Green Isle mailing address listed for the couple.

David Carlson, a friend of Boelter, is quoted as telling CNN affiliate KARE that Boelter texted his friends in the lead-up to the shootings.

According to Carlson, Boelter worked at a funeral home, owned guns, and voted for President Donald Trump last year.
