Elkhorn---The Walworth County Sheriff's Dept. has identified the deputy who shot and killed a suspect last week as 28 year-old Peter Wisnefski, an officer who's been on the force for nearly three years.
The man he shot has been identified as 38 year-old Sean Anthony Dutcher. He was on extended supervision following his release from prison after having served time for a 5th drunk driving offense.
Wisnefski is on administrative leave, pending the results of an investigation by the Wisconsin Dept. of Justice.
In a news release that was issued shortly after the shooting, authorities said Wisnefski shot the man after he drove toward him in a parking lot at the end of a chase.
