The body of a Minnesota fugitive who was convicted of second-degree murder in absentia last week was found in a Minneapolis park, authorities said.
Ralph Apmann, 58, was located late Friday in Minneapolis' Boom Island Park after days of manhunt.
On February 14, a jury found Apmann guilty of unintentional murder over the August 2021 death of 40-year-old Juan Morales-Rivera.
Apmann was convicted of putting his victim in a deadly chokehold at the Phat Pheasant Pub in Windom.
The suspect failed to appear in court during and following his trial after he posted a $150,000 bond. He was last believed to be armed with a rifle and a handgun as he headed to the Twin Cities metro area.
Apmann's cause and manner of death are being determined by the Hennepin County medical examiner.
