A Badger man has been formally charged in Roseau County District Court with murder in the Jan. 1 death of a Badger woman.
Angelo Oluf Borreson, 56, Badger, has been charged with felony offenses of second degree murder with intent – not premeditated, second degree murder without intent while committing a felony and second degree assault, according to the complaint. He was arrested. Bail has been set at $1.5 million with no conditions and $1 million with conditions.
Borreson is accused of fatally shooting Angela Marie Wynne, 51, Badger. The complaint indicated that Wynne suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
The charges stemmed from a 911 call from Borreson’s home, 27899 County Road 4 on Jan. 1, according to the complaint. Borreson allegedly told a dispatcher that he “shot her.”
Wynne was found dead inside a van in a pasture east of the home. The van was found idling with its reverse lights in operation. Three spent shotgun shells were found nearby, and the driver’s side window and passenger window had both been broken. The sheriff’s office investigator noted that Wynne had suffered “traumatic injuries to her left shoulder and the left side of her head.”
Borreson allegedly told law enforcement that he and Wynne had been texting each other. He said he had asked her to pick him up, so he could buy some gasoline for his vehicle to drive to work. After arriving, she yelled at him to hurry. He wasn’t ready. Borreson said Wynne then honked the horn and yelled at him.
Borreson allegedly said he grabbed his loaded shotgun and pointed it at Wynne. He said he wanted her to leave. Borreson said he “did not mean to fire” the gun, but it fired three shots in succession while he stood 10 to 15 feet away from her.
In a later interview with law enforcement, Borreson allegedly said he wanted Wynne to “get out of here … and I don’t know … the gun went off.” He noted he was sick of arguing with Wynne and Wynne threatening him.
Borreson said he saw one shot hit Wynne in the head. He also recalled seeing the van back through yard and then a fence before coming to rest in the pasture.
Borreson said he walked back to the home to call 911 after the shooting and then placed his 12-gauge shotgun in its case. The sheriff’s investigator found a cased firearm in the entryway to the home.
