Shannon Brandt, the North Dakota man who admitted to running down Cayler Ellingson with his car, killing him, was initially charged with criminal vehicular homicide. It was an outrage, given the circumstances.
Now the charges have been upgraded to murder, which is appropriate.
FANTASTIC NEWS!! Shannon Brandt is back in custody and charged with the murder of Cayler Ellingson! The investigation showed Cayler was on the ground when Shannon ran over him with the truck. No evidence supports Ellingson was a right wing extremist. https://t.co/fvyEK7h4RV

KX News in North Dakota reports:
Upon the initial arrest of Shannon Brandt, he was arrested by the NDHP and charged with Criminal Vehicular Homicide involving a Motor Vehicle, a Class A Felony, and Duty in Accident Involving Death, a B Felony.
After the investigation, the State of North Dakota found that the above charges were no longer appropriate and have now charged Brandt with Murder, a Class AA felony, and Duty in Accident Involving Death, a B Felony.
Brandt was arrested Friday, Sept. 30, and is currently being held in Stutsman County Correctional Center.
You don’t need to be a lawyer to know this was murder.
Politically targeted murder.

Brandt pretty much admitted the crime in his 911 call.
FINALLY: Shannon Brandt is being charged with murder after allegedly killing Cayler Ellingson, 18, on Sept. 18 after a street dance at a local bar.
During the 911 call, Brandt "made comments regarding the incident being intentional and not an accident.”https://t.co/GiyAtu6HFk
