Morrison County Sheriff Shawn Larsen today announced new developments in the Terrence “Terry” Brisk homicide investigation. A Winchester Model 30-30 lever action rifle located by investigators is now identified as belonging to Brisk. The rifle was preserved and submitted to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension laboratory immediately after it was located, and although forensic analysis continues, investigators believe it was the murder weapon. Further details about the rifle cannot be shared at this time due to the active ongoing investigation.
Brisk was found murdered on November 7, 2016, on his parent’s property located northwest of the intersection of Hawthorne Road and Jewel Road, in Belle Prairie Township, east of Little Falls. Sheriff Larsen advises the public that this homicide case appears to be an isolated incident and there continues to be no known danger to the public. “This has been a slow, methodical process and investigators continue to actively pursue every lead that is generated,” Larsen said. “We know the community wants answers about what happened. We need to wait to provide more specific information about what we’ve learned so far so that we may protect the integrity of the investigation and bring Terry’s killer to justice.”
A reward of up to $30,000 from local donors is offered for information leading to the arrest of the person who shot and killed Brisk.
