Minnesota – A Kenyan woman living in the United States has been tragically killed in a crime of passion at her residence in Ramsey.

According to a statement from the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, the victim is Hulda Bochere Mosiori, a mental health nurse practitioner and entrepreneur.

When was Huldah Mosiori killed?

Authorities explained that the 42-year-old mother of four was fatally shot on the morning of Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Mosiori was murdered by Mel Melchizedek, a 51-year-old man of unknown address, believed to be her former partner and the father of at least one of her children.

Officers were dispatched to the 15200 block of Snowy Owl Street NW at approximately 8.33 am following a report of a man with a firearm who had confronted a neighbour.

The suspect, a Sierra Leonean by descent, then returned to a nearby residence.

How many people died in Huldah Mosiori's house?

When law enforcement gained entry to the home, they discovered the bodies of both Mosiori and Melchizedek, both deceased from apparent gunshot wounds.

Authorities are yet to establish the reason behind the double deaths, but they have since lifted the shelter-in-place order, stating that there is no ongoing threat to the public.

The case remains under active investigation by the Ramsey Police Department, the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, and the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office.

News of Mosiori’s death has sent shockwaves through both the local Minnesota neighbourhood and the Kenyan diaspora.

Roselidah Nyaboke, a community member, paid tribute on social media, noting that the community had lost a PMHNP and someone’s beloved daughter.

“Sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and relatives for this big loss. Let’s pray and stand with the family,” she wrote on Facebook.

Mosiori was widely respected for her work in psychiatric mental health and her contributions to local entrepreneurship.

As investigations continue, family, friends, and supporters are organising vigils and support initiatives to honour Mosiori’s legacy and assist her surviving children.

Further details are expected as the Anoka County authorities continue their investigation.

Kenyans join family and friends in mourning Huldah

Many Kenyans were heartbroken to learn about the death of Huldah in such devastating circumstances.

Many regretted that she moved abroad to build a good life for herself and her family, only to be shot dead at the prime of her life.

A section of other Kenyans waded into the growing cases of domestic violence, saying urgent measures need to be put in place to curb the menace.

Here are some of the comments:

"Dating nowadays is a risk-taking venture. Another day to remind you that you can live longer just by staying out of relationships."

Albert Gichana said:

"My condolences to the bereaved. I also hear that the USA men are going crazy because of the child support thing. It's a crisis over there. Some ladies have managed to throw men out of their houses, but still demand support, which you can not run away from."

Jane Barasa said:

"Pole to the family."

Shicks Kings said:

"What a heartless human being. How do you kill another, leaving behind her four children, so scary and disheartening."
