Police: Missing U of M student likely dead

Burnsville police say they've uncovered evidence that shows 20-year-old Anarae Schunk, a University of Minnesota student, may have been the victim of a homicide.

Schunk disappeared last weekend after her ex-boyfriend allegedly shot another man eight times in the parking lot of a Burnsville restaurant. Officers arrived to find the man dead. Schunk's ex-boyfriend has since been charged in the man's death.

In a statement, Burnsville police said they won't release details about the evidence found Friday night that indicates Schunk is dead.
