A Shovel and Moose Antlers






A Minnesota father slaughtered a 77-year-old convicted sex offender using a moose antler and shovel after he accused the victim of stalking his young daughter.

Axtell was then arrested and a complaint states he admitted to entering the home, hitting Scully over the head nearly two dozen times with a shovel found on the victim’s deck, and then hitting him multiple times with a large moose antler.

Levi Axtell, 27, walked into at the sheriff's office covered in blood and with his head in his hands as he admitted killing Lawrence Scully - who was jailed for molesting a six-year-old girl in 1979.

Axtell, from Cook County, Minnesota, had long been suspicious of Scully parking his vehicle at locations where children were present.

Court records also show Scully was committed to a mental institution in 2020 but was later released and prescribed anti-psychotic drugs.

A review of court records shows Axtell and Scully had prior encounters. Axtell applied for and was granted a temporary restraining order against Scully in 2018, in which Axtell accused Scully of waiting for his daughter to “go on walks from daycare and tries to talk to her.” After a hearing, a judge dismissed the restraining order in May of 2018.
