A routine call about a neighborhood dispute over a dog in Crandon, Wisconsin, ended in deadly violence on July 15, 2000. Sergeant Todd Jeffrey Stamper, 38, a 13-year veteran of the Crandon Police Department and a U.S. Air Force veteran, was mortally wounded by gunfire after officers arrived at the scene. The confrontation had already claimed the life of one neighbor before police got there.

The suspect fired on responding officers and was shot twice during the exchange before being taken into custody. He was later convicted on two counts of first-degree murder for the killings, and received a life sentence; for Sergeant Stamper’s death he was given a 40-year sentence for reckless homicide. Sergeant Stamper is survived by his daughters.

If anyone knew Sergeant Stamper, witnessed the shooting, or has information about that night, please share what is known.
