Arden Hills shooting suspect had business, romantic ties to victim

A Boston Scientific executive who was fatally shot Monday at an Arden Hills gas station once had his life intertwined with the shooting suspect -- they had been life partners and started a popular Minneapolis nightclub together.

But Kelly L. Phillips, 48, had moved on. He was to marry another man this month and had ended his business relationship with Lyle "Ty" Marvin Hoffman, 44.

The Ramsey County sheriff's office said Tuesday that it was seeking Hoffman as a suspect in Phillips' homicide.

Five police agencies searched for Hoffman in two hangars at the Anoka County Blaine airport Tuesday afternoon, but did not find him, Blaine police said.

Phillips, of Minneapolis, was general counsel and vice president for Boston Scientific, which has offices about two miles from the crime scene.

Phillips and Hoffman had been together for perhaps five years, said Kathleen Simon, who was previously married to Phillips and remained his friend.

I’m thinking the person who wrote the article probably got the names mixed up.

No, Bailey's the current bf, whom Phillips was planning to "marry." Hoffman's the one Phillips dumped, apparently with prejudice.

The one on our left (color photo) looks like a sociopath.

The one on our right (b/w photo) looks like a child molester.

Justifiable homicide?

Did you mean "Homocide"?

Ok so I guess the question still remains, why did the new bf(Bailey) get booked if he had nothing to do with it?

From my viewing of police dramas, I’d say the current bf was arrested because the romantic partner or spouse is an obvious suspect in a murder. When he was either cleared by the eyewitness or presented an alibi, he was released.

Yeah but the article said they booked him, that’s arrested IIRC. I can see detained for questioning and later released but booked?.....weird.

Nothing to see here. Standard homocide.

Who knows. In “Midsomer Murders,” they arrest suspects who aren’t cooperative with questioning.

I’m not sure how much we can learn from an article that says the perp and the victim were “life partners,” anyway. Clarity of expression is not the writer’s purpose.

Try fit that story atop the wedding cake in little plastic pansy figurines.

He should have been booked for crimes against nature, if nothing else.
