A high-powered Minnesota lawyer was gunned down Tuesday by her live-in boyfriend, who then turned the gun on himself in what police are calling a murder-suicide.

The Ramsey County sheriff’s office Wednesday identified the victims as 57-year-old Nancy Sullivan, a big-time attorney at a Minneapolis law firm, and her boyfriend, 65-year-old Johnny Lee Simpson.

Sullivan was shot dead as she was moving out of a house she shared with Simpson.

Neighbor Roger Menk Sullivan’s daughter and her boyfriend were wounded in the shooting.

A hospital spokeswoman told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that 29-year-old Kathleen Maureen Fay, of St. Paul, remains in critical condition.

She had no information on the wounded man, 28-year-old Tony Sewell Brown, also of St. Paul.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of shots fired inside a residence in the 5900 block of Grotto Street just before 10am Tuesday, CBS Minnesota reported.

Inside the home, officers found the bodies of Sullivan and Simpson. Fay and Brown were discovered with gunshots wounds and rushed to Regions Hospital.

The 29-year-ol woman was listed in critical condition, while her boyfriend is expected to recover.

A moving van was parked outside the home and boxes containing Sullivan’s belongings were stacked nearby as the woman was reportedly in the process of moving following her recent breakup from Simpson.

Sullivan was a partner at the Barnes & Thornburg firm, where her practice revolved around employee benefits and mergers and acquisitions. Simpson worked as a chef.

Tuesday’s tragedy has left Sullivan and Simpson’s neighbors and friends reeling in shock.

The successful attorney is remembered was Wednesday as a devoted friend, a mother of two grown children and a grandmother who spent hours doing pro-bono work at the Minnesota Children’s Law Center.

‘We are all in a state of shock,’ said Tina Syring-Petrocchi, a law partner of Sullivan.

Partners at the firm say Sullivan was loved by all who knew her.

‘She was a great partner, she was an even better friend. She never had a bad day coming into work,’ Syring-Petrocchi said.

The couple’s neighbors described them as friendly and social, often inviting people over for pool parties and barbecue in their yard.

Neighbor Roger Menk described Simpson to the Minnesota Star Tribune as a ‘quiet, soft-spoken guy’ who seemed to be in ‘OK spirits.’

Simpson’s son, Anthony, told Fox 9 News that his father called him just before he allegedly killed Sullivan and then himself, but their conversation shed no light on the man’s motive.

Anthony Simpson went on to say that the couple’s breakup came as no surprise to anyone in their family, adding that their relationship had come to an end two months prior, and that  Sullivan’s move had been in the works for over a week.

Although Sullivan did not have an order of protection against Simpson and had never called to report any domestic issues, the man had a history of violent behavior.

In 2001, Simpson was charged with domestic assault while he was married to his ex-wife. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and received a $300 fine.

According to divorce papers filed in 2002 by the former spouse, Laurie Kay Gluesing, Simpson had been both verbally and physically abusive during their 25-year marriage.

In a 2005 affidavit, Gluesing accused her husband of pushing her and choking her by holding a finger against her throat.
