Man Kills Wife, Ex-girlfriend, Children, Commits Suicide Over Trump’s Victory

A man named Anthony Nephew, from Minnesota, reportedly took his own life and that of his wife, former partner, and two of their children after Donald Trump’s victory in the November 5 election.

Reports from the New York Post indicated that the 46-year-old father was deeply troubled by Trump’s win.

Duluth Police Chief Mike Ceynowa shared on Friday that Anthony had a history of mental health challenges.

The police found five people dead in two different homes, including Anthony Nephew’s 47-year-old former partner, Erin Abramson, and their 15-year-old son, Jacob, who died from gunshot wounds.

After identifying Anthony Nephew as a suspect, authorities also discovered his 45-year-old wife, Kathryn, and their 7-year-old son, Oliver, dead from gunshot injuries in their nearby home.

Reports mentioned that Anthony had been sharing political views and comments on Facebook, often critical of Trump and Republicans. In July, he wrote, “My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion.”

He expressed fear of religious extremists and posted that he had intrusive thoughts of being persecuted.

In another post, he criticized Republicans for making it difficult for women to leave abusive relationships, referencing “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a story set in a world where women lose their rights. Anthony also shared political images that depicted Trump negatively compared to Democratic leaders, stating, “We can do better than a binary choice between fascism and not fascism.”

Anthony had earlier warned about mental health struggles in an op-ed for the ‘Duluth News Tribune’ in 2021, where he highlighted the stigma around mental health.

He wrote, “For millions of Americans, a breakdown leads to suicide — or homicide before suicide,” emphasizing how mental health issues are often overlooked or dismissed as individual burdens.

Authorities in Duluth, a city north of Minneapolis, have not confirmed a motive for the tragic events. The police assured the public that there was no ongoing threat to the community.
