Shawn D. Blowers, 43, of Menasha, Wisconsin, died on June 25, 2019, after being shot by a Neenah police investigator during the execution of a search warrant at his Menasha apartment. Officers from the Neenah and Menasha police departments were serving the warrant as part of an Internet Crimes Against Children investigation when Blowers reportedly confronted them with a knife. Neenah Police Investigator Christopher Gorden fired during that confrontation. Blowers was taken to a local hospital where he later died; no other people were injured in the incident.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation led the inquiry and planned to turn its reports over to the Winnebago County District Attorney’s Office when complete. The officer involved was placed on administrative leave. The DOJ’s Office of Crime Victim Services provided support to those affected.

Are there details about the warrant service, the timeline in the apartment, or witnesses that anyone can add?
