On November 21, 2025, deputies in Calumet County responded to a disturbance at a rural Woodville home and found 56-year-old Jeffrey Graverson mortally wounded by gunfire inside the residence. He was located unresponsive, seated upright in a closet, with multiple gunshot wounds including to the chest and groin; lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead a short time later. Investigators recovered several spent 9mm shell casings on the kitchen floor and a 9mm pistol was seized.

According to a probable cause affidavit and charging documents, the 911 call came from Jeffrey’s 22-year-old son, Ethan James Graverson, who told dispatchers his father was going crazy and that he had to shoot him. Officers say Ethan walked out with the firearm, admitted firing multiple rounds and was arrested at the scene. He later told investigators he acted after a long history of alleged emotional abuse and had thought about killing his father since childhood. Prosecutors charged Ethan with first-degree intentional homicide with a domestic abuse modifier; bond was set at $1 million cash and he remains in custody.

If anyone knew Jeffrey or his family, or witnessed activity around the home that day, please share information with Calumet County authorities.
