Authorities are investigating a tragic double homicide that claimed the lives of a woman and a young child early Wednesday morning in Lexington. The victims have been identified as Jennifer Sue and her young son, affectionately known as “Bubbie.”
According to the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, officers responded around 12:52 a.m. on March 18, 2026, to a home on Ryan Place near Woodland Road after receiving reports of a shooting.
When first responders arrived, they discovered a woman deceased inside the home and a gravely injured young boy. The child was rushed to a hospital but later died from his injuries.
Authorities say an adult male suspect, identified as Irving Marsaw, was located nearby and taken into custody after a search involving a K-9 unit. He was transported to a hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the incident before being taken into custody.
