Deputy Frank Fabiano was shot during a vehicle stop in the town of Somers.

Deputy Fabiano had stopped a vehicle near the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus in a subdivision just south of Highway E and east of Highway 31 at about 11:37 pm, when he was shot. A University of Wisconsin-Parkside police officer who was serving as a backup officer reported the shooting and returned fire. Deputy Fabiano was transported to St. Catherine's Hospital by the Somers fire department where he died from his injuries about 5:00 am.

After the shooting, the suspect, 44, fled into the woods and after an intense three-hour manhunt, he was captured about 15 blocks from the scene of the shooting at an apartment complex. The suspect was an illegal immigrant. The suspect was later convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole.

Deputy Fabiano had served with the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department for 18 years. He had also served his country as a US Marine. He is survived by his wife, daughter, parents, brother, and sister.

Frank ... I am sorry that I haven’t posted much here but have on Facebook. I am not sure if you would be a regular on it or not but you never know. I really still have a hard time during these two months of April and May. It was Joe first, then you and mom. Now you know that dad is with you guys as well. You all left at the same time....between April and May. I just feel so lost because you and everyone are not here. I have been trying to let things go but still remember the better times, but it doesn’t happen to much. Like the doctor and everyone else that say things get better but it’s taking to long lol. I don’t think it will ever leave me but I do have memories of us growing up and fighting like crazy. Mom would say we fought because you never let me have my way. It’s possible and I will say that statement was true. I could go on and on about things but I just wanted to say that I miss you and I will always remember you. Take care of everyone and know that I love you all.
