A quiet Saturday night in St. Cloud turned into a community shock when 22‑year‑old Hallie Marie Tobler was found dead inside her locked apartment on 40th Avenue South. Police say her husband, 23‑year‑old Dylan Michael Tobler, was also found inside with life‑threatening injuries and is now in the hospital under guard.
Officers were called around 8:20 p.m. on February 7 to the 3100 block of 40th Avenue South after someone reported a medical emergency. When they got inside the apartment, they found Hallie unresponsive with multiple wounds. St. Cloud Police quickly realized this was more than a simple emergency call.
Nearby, they found Dylan also hurt badly. Police believe his injuries were self‑inflicted. He was rushed to St. Cloud Hospital where he’s being treated and is expected to face charges related to Hallie’s death once medically cleared.
Officers confirmed the couple was married and lived together in the apartment. Investigators said both were found inside the locked residence when police arrived, which added to the tense, heartbreaking scene for first responders.
Authorities have stressed there’s no ongoing danger to the public. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is helping with processing the scene as detectives continue to piece together what happened that night.
