"As a community, we are shocked and saddened by this senseless loss of life," said Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian. "This year we have had 12 homicides and two-thirds of the cases have been results of domestic violence. The current hardships people are facing – including the pandemic – seems to have escalated conflict in some households. If you know of someone in crisis, please consider sharing community resources to find them the help they need."
Kenosha Police said anyone struggling with mental illness or other stress-related conditions can call the Kenosha Human Development Services' 24-hour crisis hotline at 262-657-7188.
