Brooke Thompson, 22
MN, Brooklyn Park
Brooke's murder has left her 5yr old Daughter to grow up without her Mother in her life
Edward Johnson, 26, was charged with second-degree intentional murder for the stabbing death of his former girlfriend Brooke. One of Brooke’s friends called police after Johnson called her and asked her to look after Thompson’s 5 year-old daughter.
The night before, Brooke had called her friend and said that Johnson wanted her to go to Chicago with him and if she didn’t comply that he would put her in a sleeping bag in the trunk of his car. Police found Thompson’s body in the bathroom of the couple’s apartment as well as bloody clothes and a bloody knife in Johnson’s car.
Brooke’s daughter told police that Johnson had been fighting with her mother the night before and that her mother was saying “stop” because Johnson was banging her head on the bathroom floor. Johnson has a previous record of assault and drug charges.
Brooke’s mother, Lori Thompson, said that her daughter no longer wanted a relationship with Edward Johnson. “That’s what this was over. This shouldn’t have happened,” she said.
Johnson pleaded guilty in February 2003 to second-degree intentional murder. He gave no reason in court as to why he committed the murder.
