On May 10, 2024, deputies and Mauston Area Ambulance personnel responded to a residence on 11th Avenue in Necedah Township after a 10:59 a.m. call about a male who was not breathing. They found 66-year-old Daniel J. Asmussen of Madison deceased at the scene. Investigators determined Asmussen had been shot and killed during a confrontation at his home and was pronounced dead there.

Law enforcement identified and arrested 65-year-old Jeffrey W. Crompton of Oregon, Wisconsin. Crompton was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and is being held in the Juneau County Jail on $1,000,000 cash bond. Reports say the two men had been involved in a dispute before the shooting; specific details of that dispute have not been released.

Friends and family remembered Asmussen as a kind person whose death has shaken the community. If anyone has information about the dispute or the events on May 10, please share what is known with investigators.
