Local radio station WLIP-AM reports the slain officer is Deputy Frank Fabiano Jr. I believe he served in the military, was given a police purple heart several years ago for receiving shrapnel wounds from a seperate incident, and leaves behind his wife of 15 years and an 8 year old daughter.
I believe the Feds wouldn’t be at fault in a wrongful death case because it is up to local police to deal with these criminals. Unfortunately, KPD and KSD has probably dealt with the suspect at some point in the past and decided to let him go, just like many other jurisdictions.
As a side note the deputy’s death came less than a day after the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, Kenosha police and Pleasant Prairie police held their annual Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony to honor those law enforcement personnel who have given their lives in the line of duty. In the furor over all of this, let us not forget the memory of Frank Fabiano.
