Law Enforcement Seeking Persons of Interest in Kenosha Arson Investigations
Kenosha, Wis. — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Milwaukee Field Office, the Kenosha Police Department, the Kenosha Fire Department, the Kenosha Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation in conjunction with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin is seeking to speak to at least seven persons of interest who could advance the arson investigations of several Kenosha, Wisconsin businesses and vehicles that were set ablaze between Sunday, August 23 and Tuesday, August 25.
ATF’s National Response Team (NRT) and local field office of Special Agents, in partnership with the Kenosha Police Department, Kenosha Fire Department, Kenosha Sheriff’s Office, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation and the United States Attorney’s Office are focusing their efforts on identifying the persons responsible for twenty structure and seven vehicle arsons that occurred in Kenosha last month. Members of ATF’s specialized NRT arrived last week to work alongside the local investigators. The NRT brings expertise in meeting the challenges faced at the scenes of significant fires and explosions. The teams are each comprised of veteran special agents who have post-blast and fire origin-and-cause expertise, forensic chemists, explosives enforcement officers, fire protection engineers, accelerant detection canines, explosives detection canines, intelligence support, computer forensic support, and audit support.
“With remarkable speed, the ATF’s National Response Team has already processed the fire scenes and isolated images of individuals who may have important information,” said United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger. “Now we need the public’s help in reviewing these images. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, with the ATF and our state and local partners, will continue working to hold accountable anyone responsible for the arsons that devastated Kenosha.”
“We are asking the community to look at these images and videos and provide information to help solve these arsons,” said Special Agent in Charge Kristen de Tineo of the Chicago Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. “Engaging the community is imperative to not only solving these arsons, it will help the community heal and build trust among all Kenosha stakeholders.”
Anyone with information on the identities or whereabouts of these individuals, or if you have additional pictures or videos, please contact Kenosha Police Department at (262) 605-5203 or Kenosha CrimeStoppers at (262) 656-7333, or 1-888-ATF-FIRE.
