Victim: Andy Madren
Brandon Joseph Christopher Seim murdered 34-year old Andy Madren with a knife in two separate attacks. Brandon was angry with Andy for not allowing Brandon into his house to see his cousin. Brandon left Andy's house to get a knife, vowing to return and confront Andy. When Brandon returned, he forced entry into Andy's house and stabbed him before being wrestled outside by Andy.
After Andy retreated back into the house and closed the door, Brandon broke through the door and stabbed the victim multiple times . Andy once again wrestled Brandon outside, this time subduing him before police arrived. Andy died later that day in November 2011, from injuries sustained during the attacks. At least one of the stab wounds was to Andy's chest.
When police asked Brandon how witnesses would describe what had happened, Brandon stated they probably would say he was a "cold-hearted killer, and I don't blame them."
