On June 18, 2025, hundreds gathered for a vigil at the Minnesota Capitol to honor former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were killed in their home. Tim Walz and others attended, with performances by a brass quintet, a string quartet, and a Native American drum circle. A memorial with flowers, flags, and messages has been set up at the Capitol.
