On November 21, 2004, Mark Roidt, a 28-year-old Caucasian man, was shot and killed while deer hunting on a 400-acre private property near Birchwood, Wisconsin. He had been invited on the trip for the first time with that group when the hunting party discovered a man in a tree stand on the property. The man, later identified as Chai Vang, was confronted and asked to leave, an argument followed, and as Vang walked away he turned and opened fire with a Saiga rifle.

The initial shots struck several hunters. One wounded member radioed back to the cabin for help, and others who arrived to render aid were also fired upon. In total six hunters were killed: Mark Roidt, Robert Crotteau, Joey Crotteau, Al Laski, and Denny Drew; two additional hunters were wounded and survived. The shootings occurred near Rice Lake, where most of the victims lived. Vang fled the scene but was later apprehended and charged with multiple counts of homicide.

What details about that day or the property might help anyone who was there come forward with information?
