'See me and feel our pain': Grieving mother calls for harsher sentences for son’s killers

In Frazee, authorities say two suspects pleaded guilty to a December 2025 home invasion that left Bryson May dead, with sentencing scheduled for May.
Court documents show the intruders went to the wrong house seeking someone who owed them money, forcing entry at about 2 a.m. and threatening home occupants with handguns.
The victim's mother told reporters that Kayne Mackner admitted shooting Bryson twice in the chest and Arthur Campbell admitted wounding him in the leg.
Prosecutors are seeking tougher sentences because May was not the intended target, with plea deals outline up to 40 years for Campbell and 35 years for Mackner, requiring two thirds served before parole under Minnesota law.
Emmy Johnson told WDAY that the rapid guilty pleas have made grieving harder, she plans to address the defendants at sentencing in May and urges life sentences.
