US Man Kills Family Members, Takes Own Life After Trump’s Victory

After the November 5 election that brought President-elect Donald Trump to office, a Minnesota man, Anthony Nephew, allegedly shot and killed himself, his wife, ex-partner, and two children.

Authorities told the New York Post on Sunday that the 46-year-old father had expressed anger over Trump’s election. Duluth Police Chief Mike Ceynowa said Friday that Nephew had a “pattern of mental health issues.” The bodies of five people were discovered inside two homes on Thursday.

Police found Nephew’s ex-partner, Erin Abramson, 47, and their son, Jacob Nephew, 15, with apparent gunshot wounds in their home. Later, they discovered Nephew’s 45-year-old wife, Kathryn Nephew, and their 7-year-old son, Oliver Nephew, dead from gunshot wounds in their nearby residence.

Before the incident, Nephew had been sharing left-wing and anti-Trump posts on Facebook.

“My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion,” Anthony Nephew wrote in July.

“I am terrified of religious zealots inflicting their misguided beliefs on me and my family. I have intrusive thoughts of being burned at the stake as a witch or crucified on a burning cross.

“Having people actually believe that I or my child are Satan, or the anti-Christ, or whatever their favourite boogeyman they are afraid of this week.”

In another post, he accused Republicans of “making it harder for women to leave” abusive relationships.

“Gilead here we come,” he wrote, referencing The Handmaid’s Tale, a dystopian novel turned Hulu series in which women, stripped of their rights, are forced to reproduce for the ruling class.

Anthony Nephew also shared other political posts, including an image of former President Barack Obama, Trump, President Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris. The word “hate” was under Trump’s face, while the words “hope,” “heal,” and “grow” corresponded with the Democratic politicians.

“Not that anyone cares, but as an Independent voter, I would really like to see both the political parties in our country pick better candidates,” he wrote in July. “We can do better than a binary choice between fascism and not fascism.”

Anthony Nephew had previously issued a chilling warning about his struggles with mental health, writing in an op-ed for the Duluth News Tribune in 2021, “For millions of Americans, a breakdown leads to suicide — or homicide before suicide.”

“Mental health in this country is stigmatised, ignored, or treated as a burden for the individual to bear alone, with little help and even less understanding,” he wrote.

“Americans deny they have mental health struggles — because they have to, because they’re told to, or because they don’t realise their mind is broken.”

Duluth police, in a city of nearly 90,000 residents located about 135 miles north of Minneapolis, have not yet identified a motive for the shootings. Authorities stated there is no ongoing threat to the community.
