In the early morning hours of February 8, 2021, a home invasion in a mobile home at Voigt Plover Meadows Mobile Home Park in Plover, Wisconsin, ended with one man dead. Zachary James Deyo, 28, and an accomplice, 31-year-old Benjamin C. Smith, entered the residence as uninvited guests shortly after 1 a.m., held three occupants at gunpoint, demanded a large sum of money, and took their cell phones. During the confrontation a male resident retrieved a hidden handgun and shot both Deyo and Smith. Police found Deyo deceased at the scene; Smith was injured and taken to a hospital.

After his hospital release, Smith was arrested and charged in connection with Deyo’s death and the home invasion. The resident who fired the shots was not charged.
