On a tragic evening in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, the life of Kevin W. Schneider, a 39-year-old Caucasian male, was cut short. On March 16, 2021, Schneider was fatally shot while at his place of employment, the Roundy's Distribution Center. He and a colleague, Kevin Kloth, were killed by a fellow worker in an act of workplace violence. Schneider, who had dedicated over two decades of his life to the company, was known for his profound work ethic.
The man identified as the shooter was
41-year-old Fraron Cornelius. The shootings occurred at different locations within the large facility late on a Tuesday night. Following the attack on his coworkers, Cornelius fled the scene. This prompted a response from law enforcement, who pursued him.
The chase ended when Cornelius's vehicle crashed. In the aftermath of the crash, authorities discovered that the suspect had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The motive for the shooting remains part of the ongoing investigation. Friends and family remember Kevin Schneider as a kindhearted and generous man who was a true sportsman with a love for fishing, kayaking, and hunting.
