Dewayne Wiggins was 50 when he was fatally shot on December 7, 2020, inside a rehabilitation residence on 10th Street in Beloit, Wisconsin. The fatal shooting followed a dispute over the use of profanity between Wiggins and a housemate, Mario Tucker.

Mario Tucker was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide. The case went to trial in May 2022; after about two and a half days of trial and roughly three hours of jury deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on the lesser count of second-degree intentional homicide. The defense had argued Tucker acted out of fear for his safety during the confrontation.
