How they died
Deadly force
Byron Adams was wearing a dress and wig when he was fatally shot by a Green Bay police officer in a confrontation outside a dry cleaning business. He had a can of chili powder in his purse and probably planned to rob the nearby Oneida Bingo & Casino. When the officer asked to see Adams' identification, the suspect pulled a gun from his purse. Police said Pautzke struggled with Adams, then drew his own gun and fired four times. Adams, who died from the gunshot wounds, was carrying a pellet gun that looked like a 9mm Beretta handgun.
