WINDSOR, Wis. — The Wisconsin Department of Justice has identified the Dane County Sheriff’s Office deputy who shot and killed a man in Windsor earlier this month.
Deputy Cody Woods, who has four years of law enforcement experience, shot 46-year-old Quantaze Campbell at the Super 8 hotel on Lake Circle in Windsor on Oct. 13. Woods has been put on administrative assignment, per department policy.
In a brief update Thursday evening, the justice department’s Division of Criminal Investigation said Woods “made contact with a stolen vehicle” at the hotel on the night of the shooting.
“During the contact, Deputy Woods discharged his firearm, striking the driver of the vehicle,” the release said.
Campbell later died at an area hospital.
Officials have not yet provided details as to why Woods pulled the trigger or whether Campbell was armed or resisting arrest. DCI is still investigating the case.
No law enforcement officers were injured in the shooting.
