A 42-year old Red Wing man has entered a not guilty plea in Goodhue County District Court.
Darryl Dion Nixon is charged with one count of second-degree murder. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 40 years.
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.
The victim was 40-year-old Andrea Elizabeth Broyld of Red Wing, who was found in the house with at least 10 gunshot wounds to her chest and abdomen.
While the Goodhue County Emergency Response Team was on the scene, officers at various points saw Nixon hold a gun to his head and repeatedly beg for police to “just shoot me.”
Dixon’s court case starts on September 28th.
