When Boughton was shot on July 6, 2021, he lost control of his car and drove off the road into an apartment complex parking lot. With a gunshot wound to the head, he was rushed to the emergency room at the North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, Minnesota where he was pronounced dead.
On August 24, 2021, a team of U.S. Marshals, Plymouth Police Department detectives and Decatur Police Department officers located Smith in Decatur, Illinois and arrested him without incident. He is being held in Macon County, Illinois while awaiting extradition back to Minnesota.
