Authorities continue asking the public for information after former Lake Park Police Chief Jay Nelson died Saturday in what authorities say “appears to be a hunting related accident.” Responders found Nelson’s body about 15 miles northeast of Detroit Lakes on the White Earth Reservation. Becker County Sheriff Todd Glander says they’d like to know of anyone who might have been hunting in that area Saturday. “The sheriff’s office is also looking for information on any vehicles or persons who may have been in that area or who may heard gunshots in that area that day,” he says.
Anyone with information should contact the Becker County Sheriff’s Office.
