Murder Suspect Pleads Guilty

A 43-year old Red Wing man has entered a guilty plea in Goodhue County District Court.

Darryl Nixon was accused of second-degree murder in the death of 40-year old Andrea Broyld of Red Wing.

According to court filings Monday, Nixon entered a petition to plead guilty. Details of the plea were not available.

Nixon was scheduled to begin his court trial this past Monday. 

On November 17, 2024, Red Wing Police received a call from Nixon crying on the phone and asked for police to come to his duplex on the 1000 block of Putnam Avenue in Red Wing.

Law enforcement later learned Nixon was armed and suicidal, and that a woman inside the home had been shot.

Broyld was found in the house with at least 10 gunshot wounds to her chest and abdomen.
