Michael Kennedy

How they died

Deadly force

Saukville police were called regarding a possible burglary. Officers believed Kennedy broke into a woman's house, held her at gunpoint and forced her to drive him around. She was released without being hurt. Grafton police later noticed a car they believed to have been involved in the Saukville incident parked at the Hampton Inn. Police from both police departments tried to reach Kennedy. When they attempted to make contact, they heard a shot; they regrouped and when they attempted to make contact again, there was a second shot. Eventually, when they went in the room, he was dead.
