Tragedy at Home: A Family’s Loss | Minneapolis News

A devastating tragedy has rocked the Hopkins community: Nathan Brown, 41, is accused of murdering his wife Kristen, 41, their 7-year-old daughter Evie, and his own mother Alice, 78, before taking his own life. Six other children at the daycare survived unharmed after a parent discovered the horrific scene and called police. Kristen, a beloved daycare operator and peacemaker, was planning to pursue a master’s in speech pathology — dreams cut short by violence. Her daughter Evie, described as radiant and fashion-loving, was her mother’s greatest joy. Alice, Nathan’s gentle mother, is also remembered with love. The family asks for privacy during their grief but encourages others to seek help if facing domestic abuse. A community vigil is planned to honor Kristen and Evie, reminding listeners that healing and support are available.
