According to Fox News, Vance Boelter was captured on Sunday after allegedly killing Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, an event confirmed by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office. This high-profile political incident is likely to increase short-term volatility in US equities and could impact the cryptocurrency market as traders weigh the potential for political instability, especially in policy-sensitive sectors.
