Authorities have taken 57-year-old Vance Boelter into custody in Sibley County. He's the suspect in the targeted fatal shootings of Minnesota House DFL leader Melissa Hortman and her spouse, and the shooting of state Sen. John Hoffman and his spouse.
As President, Trump can only pardon people for federal crimes, not state.
If he wants to pardon people for Minnesota state crimes, he has to run to be governor of Minnesota, win, and he still can’t do pardons single-handedly then:

See, the mistake you’re making is thinking Trump gives a fuck about the law.
The mistake you’re making is thinking Minnesotans will let this man walk free because the Pretender in Chief says so.
We’ll stick this asshole with the 28th Virginia battle flag and they can come and try to collect him.
Interesting times ahead.
More frightening, I think. I worry most for the children and young adults in the US.
There’s no law saying Trump can’t run for governor of all 50 states simultaneously. Oh, wait, there is? Well there’s no law saying Trump can’t break the law
There’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball!
And democrat leaders are like “Don’t worry everyone, the rule-book CLEARLY states that a dog can’t play basketball, if he even tries it will be a violation of our sacred institution” As the dog is dunking in the background and scoring points.

Why do you need an entire council to pardon a local menace, but you only need one high-functioning sociopath to release a nation-wide criminal?
Because a lot of states, Minnesota included, have more sensible processes and rules than the federal government.
