SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) – Deputies are asking for the public’s help in solving a fatal hit and run case from earlier this year.
That crash happened in the Town of Rhine on July 3rd. Deputies and EMS found 23-year-old Shawn Kaufert of Sheboygan Falls dead in the ditch along County Road P. A person driving a van called dispatch around 4:45 am, and said he’d struck something in the road. Police found Kaufert dead at the scene.
