Dad Accused of Killing Sex Offender with Shovel, Moose Antler

A 27-year-old Minnesota man is accused of fatally beating an elderly sex offender to death on Wednesday, using a shovel and moose antler.

Officials charged Levi Axtell with second degree murder in the death of 77-year-old Lawrence Scully, who was killed inside his Grand Marais home, NBC Los Angeles reported Saturday.

The elderly victim was convicted of molesting a six-year-old girl in the late 1970s, according to Fox News.

Following the killing, the suspect went to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office where he told authorities what happened, all while he was covered in blood.

An image shows the suspect and what appears to be antlers:

Bail was set at $1 million during a recent hearing. However, Axtell had no serious criminal history before the recent incident, and he was considered a minimal flight risk thanks to his longtime relationship with the community, per defense Attorney Dennis Shaw.

Right now, the suspect is being held in jail, awaiting his next court appearance.

I wonder what the backstory is on this incident. It did not just happen out of nowhere.

I feel sorry for the unfortunate daughter.

I think this guy would’ve reached for the moose antler, regardless.

Did he have a permit for that moose antler?

In 2018, Axtell alleged that Scully was stalking his 22-month-old daughter and other children in his van, which he parked near her Grand Marais daycare. Axtell sought an order of protection, which was granted but then dismissed within several weeks, according to court records.

I think you only need permits for full semi-automatic, assault, moose antlers.

It was a high capacity automatic shovel and moose antler. Time to ban shovels and moose antlers.

Mr. AXtell couldn’t decide what implement to use?

Shovel?
Antler?

This happened in Minnesota. Frostbite Falls, perhaps?

Here we go again. Homicide is justified and celebrated based on suspicion.

Good information. Keep digging.

There has got to be a lot more to this story than has been made public so far.

That father sacrificed the rest of his normal life for a lot more serious reason than just a dismissal of a restraining order.
