Ongoing criminal inquiry into fatal incident in Mazomanie town

In a series of events that unfolded over the weekend, a homicide investigation in Mazomanie, Wisconsin, has led to a fatal incident in Marinette County.

On Thursday night, at around 11:45 PM, deputies from the Dane County Sheriff's Office responded to a call for an EMS assist at a property in the 9800 Block of Dunlap Hollow Road, Town of Mazomanie. Upon arrival, they discovered the lifeless body of a 70-year-old man inside the property. His identity, as well as the name of the deceased, have not been released.

The following day, it was discovered that the victim was supposed to have dinner with loved ones but failed to show up and was unreachable by phone. This prompted authorities to launch a search for the man and his vehicle, a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. However, the vehicle was not found at the property.

As the investigation progressed, several law enforcement officers in Dane County reportedly chased the vehicle along US Highway 41 southbound. The suspect's vehicle was later found in Marinette County, specifically in Peshtigo, where the incident occurred.

On Friday morning, at approximately 9:15 AM, the driver of the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe was apprehended after the vehicle crashed near the intersection of US Highway 41 northbound and Schacht Road. The driver reportedly got out of the car and approached officers.

According to reports, the driver was tasered by multiple officers from the Marinette County Sheriff's Office and two officers from the Marinette Police Department. The suspect was subsequently taken to the hospital in Peshtigo. Despite medical efforts, the suspect later died at the hospital.

Authorities are now investigating the events that led to the death of the suspect and the homicide in Mazomanie. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call the Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014 or visit P3TIPS.COM.
