The shunned father died less than 18 months later at the age of 75. The cause of his death was unclear, with a spokesperson from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office telling The Sun they didn't have the information on file. An investigation was launched into Nicolae Snr's death, an officer with the Bloomington Police Department confirmed, though a request seeking further information was not returned by the time of publication. ...PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE' Prior to his arrest on Saturday, Nicolae Jr. had no criminal history in his home state of Minnesota. He is a father of a 16-year-old boy, though the teen and his mother \- Miu's ex-wife \- relocated to Bucharest, Romania, after their divorce in 2009, a 2013 court filing shows. A glance at Miu's Facebook page paints him to be a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment and an admirer of ...Attractive Chicks.... In a post authored just one day before he allegedly murdered Schuman, Miu reposted a pro-gun meme on Facebook showing a family of three hunting with scoped rifles. ...This is quality family time and gun control all in one,... the post read. ...Repost because the communist 'sic ' at Facebook are covering it up and deleting it.... A second pro-gun post, re-shared by Miu in March 2020, also referenced killing people. ...I believe in the right to keep & bear arms,... the meme read in part. ...If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, and you a re 'sic ' not afraid to show it, re-post this!!! ...Guns don't kill people, people kill people.... Around Valentine's Day in 2019, Miu also posted a message of thanks to his wife, who he said had bought him a handgun and a cache of ammunition stashed in a heart-shaped box to mark the romantic holiday. "Big thanks to my wonderful wife!" he wrote. "I love my present! Happy Valentine's day to you too!" ...CONCERNED' ABOUT YOUTH Elsewhere on his page, Miu appeared to make anti-trans remarks and decried a perceived lack of respect among the youth of today in a lengthy rant posted on the platform in 2020. ...The entire world is a very confusing world latest...boys dressing like girls, fake lips, fake boobs, fake food fake everything!... he wrote. ...Boys using girls bathrooms....is that supposed to be our new the stipple of freedom? ...Men not respecting their women counterparts because of a lack of upbringing is very concerning....children not respecting their parents is also very concerning....and yes not respecting God is the most concerning to me! ...Politicians should not be our leaders,... he continued. ...They should be our servants for that is the reason we hired them and nothing else. Instead they are dividing our country!... Among his liked pages, groups such as ...Attractive Chicks..., ...Jesus is all we need..., ...I support Donald Trump... and one called ...Redheads Desire... all appear. FRENZIED ATTACK Miu told police that Saturday's stabbing frenzy unfolded as he was searching for his friend's lost cellphone that he'd dropped along the Apple River in Somerset, Wisconsin, a police affidavit first obtained by The Daily Beast shows. As shown in the document, Miu told investigators he'd asked a group of fellow tubers if they'd seen the phone, which was in a floating bag. Miu, who had snorkel gear on at the time, claimed that some in the group responded by calling him a child molester and tossing his snorkel gear in the river, the affidavit shows. The 52-year-old also accused one person in the group of attempting to pull down his swimming trunks. "I don't know why they were being so mean," he allegedly told detectives, before claiming to have been attacked by two members of the group who ...produced two weapons.... "Nic told me that he was 'so fearful' for his safety and wasn't sure what the people on the river were going to do to him," the complaint says. ...FEARFUL' FOR SAFETY Miu then claimed that he took a knife off of one of his alleged attackers and turned it back on the group \- though testimony from his wife and video captured by a bystander paints a different story. According to Miu's wife Sondra, Miu had returned from his confrontation with the group and told her that a group of young people nearby had started calling him a "pedophile," and that they had grabbed his pocketknife from him and attacked him with it. Miu had the knife clipped to the pocket of his swim shorts when he went off to find the phone, Sondra said. "Sondra stated that by the time the police were coming she observed what she thought was someone was getting CPR performed on him," the complaint says. "Sondra stated that she didn't think Nicolae was there long enough to harm anyone and estimated for about five minutes." BLOOD IN THE WATER Witnesses, however, claim that Miu was the aggressor of the situation \- and a video appears to support their version of events, as detailed in the affidavit. They claim that Miu had been harassing a group the group of tubers, to the extent that they called out for help from passersby. Miu then began "punching or slapping" a young woman identified as 24-year-old Ryhley Mattison. Another friend of Mattison's then struck Miu, knocking him backward into the river, according to the complaint. It was at that moment that witnesses claim Miu pulled out his pocketknife and began ...stabbing multiple individuals who were near him.... After Miu finally backed away from the group, video footage of the exchange shows his hands covered in blood, police say. He was then filmed running off upriver as several wounded victims lay in the water. "There was enough blood in the river that the water turned a red tint in places," the complaint says. Police apprehended Miu shortly after without incident. TRAGIC DEATH In total five people were hurt in the frenzy. Four injured victims aged 22 to 24, including Mattison were taken to the hospital with multiple stab wounds of varying severity. Schuman, meanwhile, was tragically pronounced dead at Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, Minnesota. In a statement mourning his sudden death, family members remembered Schuman as a teen with an ... incredibly bright future ahead of him.... ...We are all heartbroken and devastated beyond words that his future has been tragically and senselessly cut short,... the family told KARE 11. ...We very much appreciate the overwhelming outpouring of love and support from our friends, Isaac's friends, and the Stillwater Community.... Miu appeared in court via Zoom on Monday where he was charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide and four counts of attempted first-degree homicide. Read More on The US Sun
