Albert Lea, MN - Body camera footage from three law enforcement agencies who responded to a deadly domestic violence call turned police chase.

On the night of June 10, officers followed suspect Nathaniel Bailey from rural Albert Lea to Mower County and back, ending at a residence belonging to his mother, Brenda Krause.

Deputies fatally shot Bailey after he brandished a firearm. A deputy can be heard in the Mower County Sheriff’s Office body cam footage yelling “Put the gun down!” before firing several shots.

Responding officers later found Krause deceased inside the home.

Body cam footage of the incident from the Mower and Steele County Sheriff Offices, as well as the Albert Lea Police Department. We also reached out to the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office, but were told it did not have footage “from any deputy directly involved in the officer involved shooting.”

While most people usually think of a domestic violence situation being between romantic partners, it can apply to any type of intimate relationship.

“It can be college roommates, it can be adult siblings living together sharing that living space, it can be adult children living with their adult parents,” said Jeannie Thompson, the Director of Youth Programming and Outreach at the Women’s Shelter and Support Center.

In Bailey’s case, he was accused of killing his mother. However, just over a week later on June 19, Craig Hameister was arrested after an overnight manhunt, and is currently in Wabasha County jail on second-degree murder charges in the death of his ex-partner, Melissa Hunt.

Court documents reveal Hameister has an extensive criminal record, including two past convictions for domestic assault in 2006 and 2008.
