Deputies wounded in shooting in Minnetonka (AP via Star Tribune)
MINNETONKA, Minn. (KFGO/WCCO) A Minnetonka homeowner says the man who died after a shootout with Hennepin County deputies was his son, 28-year-old Clint Hoyhtya.
Thomas Hoyhtya says his son moved into the house nearly 2 years ago, after Clint worked with a local attorney to have 3 people evicted from the home.
According to court documents, Clint Hoyhtya filed an eviction notice against the tenant, who was his sister. He said she allowed two others to live in the basement without paying rent for more than a year and a half.
Thomas Hoyhtya believes his son may have intentionally fired at officers in an attempt to end his life.
Thomas says Clint was not the target of the warrant deputies were attempting to serve, and believes one of the three people evicted from his home was.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension say they cannot comment about this since it is all part of the investigation.
