Kevin Foy
Kevin Foy of Lake Villa, Illinois, a 32-year-old combat veteran who served twice in Afghanistan, was shot and killed on October 23, 2023, by police officers in Germantown, California.
According to his brother, Foy drove to Germantown on October 23, 2023, to pick up items he had purchased at auction that he intended to resell. When his truck broke down in Germantown, his brother went to repair the truck, but by the time he arrived, police had surrounded Kennedy Middle School. According to police, Foy behaved inappropriately at the truck repair shop and then tried to break into the building at the high school before climbing onto the roof of the school building and firing at officers. Officers returned fire and the suspect died at the scene. No one else was injured. Investigators searched the school and collected evidence.
Four Germantown police officers are on administrative leave, which is department protocol. The investigation is being conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
Foy’s brother said the family is confused and is still seeking answers about what really happened and why police officers opened fire on Foy.
