Garrett Patrick Macone, 24, was found dead outside his home in Chetek Township on Sunday, September 20, 2020, after his mother called 911 shortly before 1:00 PM. Investigators observed blood spatter in his bedroom and injuries to the back of his head that appeared to be gunshot wounds; an autopsy confirmed the cause of death as gunshot wounds to the head. Reports say the scene indicated Garrett had been killed inside the house and his body moved outside.

Detectives linked the killing to Garrett’s relationship with a woman who was separated from her husband, Andrew Brunette. Brunette was located in St. Paul and eventually told police he had driven to Garrett’s home with a 9mm handgun and a change of clothes, entered through an unlocked front door, found Garrett asleep, fired twice, and later moved the body outside. Investigators say Brunette discarded clothing in a dumpster in Clear Lake and threw the firearm into a creek; both items were recovered. Brunette, 25, of Rice Lake, Wisconsin, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and held on a $1 million cash bond.

Does anyone have information about Garrett’s last known movements or about people who might have seen activity at the Chetek residence on the night of September 19?
