Harris man pleads guilty in 2023 Chisago County murder case

A Harris man pleaded guilty in a 2023 Chisago County murder case on Friday.


40-year-old Mike Carda was charged with second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, and second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon in the shooting death of his wife. 


Carda pleaded guilty to the first two counts.


According to the criminal complaint, deputies were called to a Fish Lake Township residence with the report of a domestic incident on October 6th, 2023. 


The caller met the deputy at the scene and said her daughter lived in the home. 


The arriving deputy reportedly heard voices inside from 40 yards away. When the deputy announced his presence, he heard a female voice saying “he has a gun.”


The deputy then heard gunshots coming from inside the house.


Three rounds were reportedly fired through the window near where the deputy was standing. 


After a standoff with the Chisago County swat team, Carda was arrested. A deceased female party was identified as Carda’s wife, Sarah, who had three gunshot wounds to the head.


Carda had a pending domestic assault case from July of 2023, and was under a domestic abuse no-contact order.


His sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 22, 2025.
