#WeRememberMN

Violence Free Minnesota, the coalition to end relationship abuse, remembers Janet Vercruysse, the 7th confirmed victim of intimate partner homicide in Minnesota in 2025.

Janet Vercruysse

Janet Vercruysse, 36, was shot and killed inside a home in Waite Park on April 12, 2025, by her boyfriend De’Mico Elyea-Goss, 29, who then shot and killed himself. On the afternoon of April 12, police were across the street on a separate call and heard gunshots from the home. A 5-year-old

child and an 8-year-old child, both Janet’s children, ran out of the home and alerted police to the murder-suicide. When police entered, they found Janet and Elyea-Goss deceased. Multiple firearms were also found inside. 


Janet was described as a “caring and adventurous” person who was generous and friendly and loved spending time with her family and three cats. Loved ones said she had a “contagious laugh” and loved dressing up in her favorite colors of pink, leopard print, and purple. Janet worked at a nursing home and was fondly remembered by coworkers. 


Janet Vercruysse leaves behind two young children.

Violence Free Minnesota, the coalition to end relationship abuse, remembers Danielle Grace Warren, the 6th confirmed victim of intimate partner homicide in Minnesota in 2025.

Danielle Grace Warren

Danielle Grace Warren, 32, was stabbed to death on May 7, 2025, in her home in Burnsville. She was stabbed nine times in the neck, torso, and head while several children were in the home. Her boyfriend Jason Filas, 48, is charged with second-degree intentional murder. Police were called

to the home on the morning of May 7, where they found Danielle deceased inside. Filas was later arrested in Lakeville. 


Earlier this year, a no-contact order was issued prohibiting Filas from contacting Danielle after a March 13 assault in which he grabbed her by the hair, pulled her head down, and took her cellphone. In the court filing for the no-contact order, Danielle noted she was afraid of Filas and was concerned he would hurt her. Police found him in violation of the order on April 2 while in a car with Danielle. Filas was set to be sentenced for that violation on July 9. Though it is unknown why, a judge vacated the no-contact order on April 23.


Loved ones said that Danielle “did anything in the world” for her children, had a great sense of humor, and will be deeply missed. 


Danielle Grace Warren leaves behind three young children, including an infant.

Violence Free Minnesota, the coalition to end relationship abuse, remembers Hulda Bochere Mosiori, the 5th confirmed victim of intimate partner homicide in Minnesota in 2025.

Hulda Bochere Mosiori

Hulda Bochere Mosiori, 42, was killed by her former partner Mel Melchizedek, 51, on April 22, 2025, in Ramsey, Minnesota. Melchizedek then killed himself. On the morning of April 22, police received a call indicating that Melchizedek confronted a neighbor with a gun before returning to a home nearby. A shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area. Police eventually managed to enter the home, where they found Hulda and Melchizedek deceased. An official determination of the cause(s) of both deaths has not yet been released. 


Hulda was a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Maple Grove who was described by loved ones as “the nicest person” and the “biggest supporter, role model and provider.” 


Hulda Bochere Mosiori leaves behind four children.

Violence Free Minnesota, the coalition to end relationship abuse, remembers Christine “Chrissy” Morris, the 4th confirmed victim of intimate partner homicide in Minnesota in 2025.

Christine “Chrissy” Morris

Christine “Chrissy” Morris, 33, was stabbed to death in St. Paul on or around May 2, 2025. Her boyfriend Joseph Davis, 34, is charged with second-degree murder. Early on the morning of May 2, police were called to a welfare check at the home Christine and Davis shared, where they pronounced Christine dead at the scene. Their two-year-old daughter was found physically 

unharmed.


Before police arrived, Davis had called a family member and a previous partner and told both of them that he had killed Christine. The previous partner told police she had feared he would kill her (the partner) or someone else at some point.


Davis has a history of violence against Christine. He was sentenced in May 2023 and January 2024 for gross misdemeanor domestic assault against her and had also violated a no contact order prohibiting him from contacting Christine. Davis also has a prior domestic assault conviction in 2018 for abusing another woman he was in a relationship with. In September 2024, Christine told a friend that if she or her daughter ended up dead or went missing, Davis would be the person responsible.


Christine “Chrissy” Morris was described by loved ones as “a beautiful soul who touched many lives with her love, strength, and smile.” She ran her own catering business for Jamaican food and also worked as a realtor. Multiple people described her as their best friend. 


She leaves behind a two-year-old daughter.
