A community is mourning the loss of an 18-year-old man from Grace City, North Dakota, as investigators look into what lead up to a deadly crash. Foster County Deputies were called to a hit-and-run that happened in an alleyway near Johnston Street and Jones Avenue in McHenry, ND.
Court documents say at 2:35 Sunday morning, 41-year-old Shannon Brandt called 911 to report that he had hit a pedestrian because he was threatening him. Brandt told State Radio that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were “coming to get him.” The pedestrian has been identified in a GoFundMe page as 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson.
After visiting the scene where the incident happened, deputies went to Brandt’s house in Glenfield, ND, which is about 12 minutes from the crash scene. Brandt admitted to consuming alcohol before the incident, and stated he hit Ellingson with his car because he had a political argument with him. Brandt also admitted to deputies that he initially left the crash scene, then returned to call 911, but left again before deputies could arrive.
Court documents say just before the crash, Ellingson called his mom and asked if they knew who Brandt was. She said yes, and told her son she was on her way to pick him up. A short time later, court documents say Ellingson called his mom again to say that “he” or “they” were chasing him. It was after the second call that Ellingson could not be reached again.
Ellingson was pronounced dead at a Carrington Hospital. Brandt has been charged with criminal vehicular homicide and DUI. Court records show a judge set bail at $50,000.
$50,000 bail for premeditated murder.

Still not getting a clear picture on what happened why, when where and to whom? The article is choppy.
If you're a republican conservative make sure you look both ways when crossing the street. The narrative in the media favors the hit on you.
A republican extremist group? Sure, Jussie Smollet.
Yeah poorly written. What I gathered was..
Non-violent leftist had been drinking and ran over violent right wing kid because he disagreed with the kids politics. The violent right wing kid was out to get the leftist.
The article is crappy. Typical of incoherent garbage contemporary journalism.
I can glean enough from the article:
-Brandt started shit with the kid probably because the kid was wearing a MAGA hat or patriotic t-shirt
-The kid calls his mom saying there’s someone starting shit with him
-Brandt keeps harassing the kid
-Kid calls mom again trying to get a ride, probably leaves to avoid more confrontation
-Brandt runs him down and kills him, leaving the scene
Kind of a confusing article, which is typical these days. Who was chasing who? Did these people know each other?
Weasels
The headline leads one to think it was an extreemist republican that did the killing
Scum bag media
Spit
I used to wonder how (socialist)Hitler found people willing to kill for him.
Todays budding (socialist) liberals seem like they would be gleefully willing to.
You forgot the part where the violent right wing kid was running FROM the non-violent leftist because...(?)
“violent right wing kid”
Not my understanding the kid was violent.
That’s sort of what I had thought happened, but there is a lot of extra information strewn about here and there.
Sad that a young man lost his life in such a manner.
When you child has made it to age 18, most parents hope they won’t need to worry about the child quite so much anymore.
Nothing good ever happens after closing time.
‘Brandt told State Radio that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were “coming to get him.”’
I don’t think that “pedestrian on foot was chasing down my vehicle” defense is going to fly.
” Republican extremist group which is so extreme they’re Democrats”
“Who was chasing who?”
If the guy in the vehicle was being chased by the man on foot, then I think he would have just left and there wouldn’t be a dead body, so that doesn’t seem like a hard question to guess at the answer to.
This article is completely blacked out!
