Feds Need Help Tracking Down Suspects In 27 Kenosha Arson Cases

KENOSHA, WI — Federal authorities are asking for the public's help to identify at least seven people accused of being involved with multiple arson cases in Kenosha related to mass protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says they're working with Kenosha Police and Sheriff's deputies in trying to track down people responsible for 20 structure fires and seven vehicle arson cases.

Authorities are trying to track down suspects that hit B&L Furniture, the city garbage trucks that were parked outside the Kenosha County Courthouse, TCF Bank, H&R Block, Car Source and the Probation and Parole building and have video footage from many of these cases, authorities said.

"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,” U.S. Attorney Matthew D. Krueger said in a statement. “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.”

• Charlie’s 10th Hole, 3805 22nd Ave.

• Treasure’s Within, 1016 60th Street
• Dinosaur Discovery Museum, 5608 10th Ave.
• Lend Nation, 6304 22nd Ave.

Authorities have released several videos and still photos from various arson cases in hopes of tracking down suspects.

“We are asking the community to look at these images and videos and provide information to help solve these arsons,” Special Agent in Charge Kristen de Tineo of the Chicago Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in a news release. “Engaging the community is imperative to not only solving these arsons, it will help the community heal and build trust among all Kenosha stakeholders.”
