MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Field Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is issuing newly obtained photographs and videos seeking the public’s help identifying numerous 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, 2020.
ATF is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for the positive identification of each person depicted in newly released videos and pictures who could further the arson investigations, leading to an arrest and prosecution. ATF is working collaboratively on the investigations with the Kenosha Police Department, the Kenosha Fire Department, 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. The photos and videos are also posted on the ATF’s Twitter page, @ATF_Chicago.
People with information regarding the identity and/or whereabouts of these individuals are urged to contact ATF at 1-888-ATF-TIPS (283-8477), ATFTips@atf.gov, or submit an anonymous tip through the “ReportIt” app, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. When reporting, be sure to include as many details as possible and contact information for potential follow up if a reward is sought.
“ATF agents will continue to work with our law enforcement partners investigating these arsons for as long as it takes in order to hold those accountable,” said ATF Special Agent in Charge Kristen de Tineo of the Chicago Field Division. “Publicizing these newly acquired photographs and videos of last fall’s civil unrest, we are hopeful the public will assist in solving these violent crimes committed against the whole community.”
