OCONTO CO., WI (WTAQ) – The sheriff’s department in Oconto County are piecing together what lead to the death of a 36-year-old man after an argument with a 17-year-old.
Jason Fotopoulos died of injuries suffered during the confrontation at the teen’s home on Sandy Alberts Lane in the Town of Chase.
Sheriff Michael Jansen says they were neighbors.
“The 36-year-old was a friend of the family where the 17-year-old was residing at.”
During the altercation, Fotopoulos was knocked to the ground and seemed to have trouble breathing.
The teen performed CPR on the man but was unsuccessful.
“I expect, but I’m not making that decision, that the D.A. wants to have him (17-year-old) appear in court, if not yet today, by tomorrow, prior to the weekend,” Jansen said.
The investigation is ongoing.
The 17-year-old is being held in the Oconto County Jail awaiting charges.
