Man Arrested After Intense Search

A deputy was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop, and a suspect is in custody after an intense manhunt by land and air, a Kenosha County sheriff's official said Thursday.

Deputy Frank Fabiano Jr. was trying to pull over a red Chevrolet Astro van near the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus at about 11:37 p.m. Wednesday when he was shot once in the face, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department.

A Parkside police officer serving as a backup radioed that shots had been fired and a deputy was down. He also returned fire, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department.

he shooting happened in an upscale neighborhood on 45th Avenue just south of Highway E.

The gunman disappeared into a wooded area, as dozens of squad cars streamed into the area. A helicopter and police dogs were brought in to search for the male suspect.

As the three-hour manhunt began, authorities sent a telephone message -- a "child is missing" alert -- to residents of the area urging them to be on the alert.

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth said people called in tips that were useful.

Kenosha County Sheriff's spokesman Gil Benn said the 44-year-old suspect was arrested at the Woodcreek Apartment Complex, located about a half-mile from the shooting scene just after 2:30 a.m.

Ezequiel Lopez Ezequiel Lopez Ezequiel Lopez was hiding behind some cars and was still armed, according to Beth.

He was treated at Kenosha Memorial Hospital for injuries and is in the Racine County Jail.

Beth said the suspect had eight aliases and at least five Social Security numbers. The sheriff said Lopez has a Kenosha address, although it was not known if it is current. Lopez, who was born in Durango, Mexico, has also been arrested several times.

Fabiano was transported to St. Catherine's Hospital, where he pronounced dead. He is survived by his wife and 7-year-old daughter.

Fabiano, an 18-year veteran of the force, received a silver star from the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department for rescuing someone from a burning building in Paddock Lake in 1991. He also received a purple heart in 1991 after getting shot in Paddock Lake.

He graduated from Bradford High School in 1977 and loved to go golfing, Beth said.

The Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation is now in charge of the case.

It's been almost seven years since a law enforcement officer from southeastern Wisconsin died while on duty.

Milwaukee County deputies Ralph Zylka and Sung-Hui Bang were killed in August 2000 when their helicopter crashed while on a manhunt in the central part of the state.

Is Kenosha County a haven for the illegal aliens?

No more so then most areas in this country. There is a lot of "field work" here starting about now. One of the big cash crops around these parts is cabbage. It is largely planted by hand, cultivated by hand, and harvested by hand. Most migrant workers are gone by October. They wouldn't have much luck finding jobs so they head south for late fall and winter.

My wife taught grade school for years and commented that the number of migrant kids was slowly increasing in her classes.

This F*ck Stick should have been shot resisting arrest!

Yeah, that would have been a good thing. Wisconsin does not have the death penalty. We had a referendum a while back and it was close to 60% in favor of adopting it but the vote was non-binding. So we just sit here twiddling out diddlies while "Diamond Jim" squats in Madison figuring what to tax next.

Maybe this POS will get shanked and we won't get stuck with the $35,000 to $45,000 annual bill to keep him safe and warm for the rest of his natural life.

Too bad Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty.

It's good that Lautenschlager (aka Goldschlager) is no longer Attorney General, though.

That's something I've been wondering. Was that a legislative move or a Tommy Thompson thing?

No, but he gets 5 z-visas, 5 cervezas, 5 anchor baby options, 5 chain migration cards, 5 DNC membership cards and 5 race cards to be played as needed.

You know, I want to laugh but you are more right than we realize. My heart cries for the wife and 7 year old daughter. What a horrible shame.

Neither, there was a "botched" hanging in 1851 which resulted in public disgust with the procedure. Wisconsin abolished the death penalty in 1853.

Really, 1853? Fascinating. Thank you. They must have been one of the few states back then.

Love your name!

I wasn’t trying to be funny. When they trace this guy’s history, I’ll bet they’ll find he was arrested multiple times and played the revolving-door-justice-system game.

Like, *PING*, dude.

If the Amnesty bill is passed, it will be 9-11 times a thousand.

One PC crime at a time.

George Bush and the Republicans who vote for this Amnesty bill can GO TO HELL.

What's the difference between Lewinsky/Clinton and Bush/Kennedy?

A. 1. No blue dress.
2. (Gulp!) No stain, either.

NO to Amnesty.

The Mexican that hit and almost killed me has at least two names. There was the one on the accident report and the one on the charging document after they caught him again.

I wonder which one of these identities he plans to use to get his new Z visa? if he's smart, it won't be the one which is printed in his criminal record. Or maybe he'll just buy a new one and start fresh?

Lopez, who was born in Durango, Mexico, has also been arrested several times

Sweet. It's a good thing these people get deported when we catch them. Oh, wait a minute, you say he wasn't? Well, we'll have better luck after the new immigration bill is passed, that's for sure. The backers assure us that's what will happen!

Please tell me this woman is suing the feds for allowing this POS to walk freely in this country --

The court system in this country claims that officials at any level cannot be held responsible for enforcing laws [whether constitutional or not] passed by other officials.

This concept is totally BS, but that's how they 'rule'.

At the accident scene they did. He bonded out and skipped court. Somehow they caught him again. He showed up at court this time. The Judge ordered him to pay me $ 250.00 to cover my deductable. If it happens, Good. I’m not holding my breath.

The only reason that I wasn’t killed was that the Good Lord was watching out for me. If I had been going a tenth of a mile per hour faster or had turmed a tenth of a second earlier he would have hit me full in the left door. He was traveling around 100mph.

The funeral is happening tomorrow at Carthage College. I am a student there. I will be attending to show my support for his family and honor his memory. I am so angry that this happened. The murderer should have been deported years ago (After choking his wife for one thing). I was the victim of a hit-and-run accident by an illegal. I saw his face, his car, he looked right at me and sped off. Why aren’t American citizens being PROTECTED from this kind of thing?!

PROTECT THE HONEST TAX PAYING CITIZENS, NOT THE ILLEGALS!
