'Gruesome Scene': Man Charged with Killing Woman in Her Richfield Apartment
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 7 – Jose Luis Lopez Xique was charged after fatally shooting Kayli Grace Arseth following her refusal of his romantic advances, police said. He faces $2.5 million bail.
- Authorities found the body of 22-year-old Kayli Grace Arseth inside her apartment along Penn Avenue South in Richfield, Minnesota, after conducting a welfare check on June 17, 2025.

- Investigators revealed that Arseth and 27-year-old Jose Luis Lopez Xique met online, he pursued a romantic relationship, and she declined, wanting to remain friends.
- Lopez Xique was at Arseth's apartment for over an hour on June 16, and after her death by gunshot wound to the head—ruled a homicide—he was arrested and charged with second-degree intentional murder.
- Authorities have confirmed that Lopez Xique will face legal action to ensure justice is served, while a GoFundMe campaign has collected over $44,000 to aid Arseth’s family.
