DULUTH – A Duluth man known to struggle with his mental health this week killed his two sons, wife and ex-wife before shooting himself, police said Friday.
The killings were discovered when officers were called to conduct a welfare check Thursday afternoon at a house on the quiet 6000 block of Tacony Street in the West Duluth neighborhood, where Anthony Nephew’s ex-wife Erin Abramson, 47, lived with their son Jacob Nephew, 15.
Abramson, who worked for the city of Superior, Wis., had not shown up for work that day — which was uncharacteristic and a cause for concern among coworkers.
In the home, the woman and teenager were found dead from gunshot wounds.
Police then went to Nephew’s home, less than a mile away in the 4400 block of West Sixth Street, across from Denfeld High School. There they discovered the bodies of his wife, Kathryn “Kat” Ramsland, 45, and their son Oliver Nephew, 7.
