On the late evening of August 20, 2020, 53-year-old Richard Rose was shot and later died at a hospital. The shooting happened about 9:40 p.m. on the 600 block of West 8th Street in New Richmond, Wisconsin. Witnesses said a wounded Rose emerged from an apartment saying he had been shot before going into his own residence. Officers found him with a gunshot wound to his leg and applied a tourniquet; EMS transported him to a nearby hospital where he died shortly after arrival.

Two New Richmond men were arrested shortly after fleeing the scene. They were identified as 36-year-old Joshua Cameron and 28-year-old Andrew Helmueller, who is also known as Sovereignty Sovereign. Cameron was described as combative during his arrest and reportedly spat at officers after a taser was used. The St. Croix County District Attorney filed first-degree reckless homicide charges against both men as the investigation continued.
