A Cass County grand jury has upgraded the charges against a Cass Lake man accused in the killing of his ex-girlfriend to first-degree premeditated murder.
County prosecuters announced the new charges on Friday against 27-year old Ross Z. Littlewolf. He had previously been charged with 2nd degree murder, but because a conviction for first-degree premeditated murder carries a mandatory life sentence without parole, it can only be charged by a grand jury.
Prosecutors allege that Littlewolf fire a shotgun blast through a sliding glass door to enter the Cass Lake home of 22-year old Kandace Blaine Dunn and then shot her in the head on June 26.
Dunn was sharing a room with her two children - one of whom is also Littlewolf's child.
Leech Lake tribal police arrested Littlewolf a short time later.
