Kenneth Patterson, a 31-year-old Black man, was found with a fatal gunshot wound in a west-side Chippewa Falls home on March 13, 2016. His death was ruled a homicide and the Chippewa Falls Police Department opened an investigation.

Investigators identified two suspects, LaDonte Mays and Leaquon Carlone-Roddie. Mays was arrested in Minnesota and charged with first-degree intentional homicide; prosecutors later filed a motion to dismiss that homicide charge, citing insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

With the primary homicide charge dismissed, no one has been held legally responsible for Patterson’s death and the investigation remains open. Is there anyone who knew Kenneth or who has information that could help bring clarity to what happened that night?
