Wisconsin saw record domestic violence deaths last year

Wisconsin saw 99 domestic violence deaths in 2024, according to a report from End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin, the highest number since the organization began tracking data in 2000.

The analysis included the deaths of perpetrators who died by suicide or law enforcement action.

Meanwhile, more than 100 organizations across the state are struggling as funds dry up through the Victims of Crime Act fund, known as VOCA.

The federal fund pays for domestic violence hotlines, child abuse advocacy centers and other services for crime victims across Wisconsin.

By the numbers:

The game-winning goal came early in the final frame. Noel Gunler poked a bouncing puck from the slot past Admirals goalie Matt Murray at 3:55 of the third period to give Chicago a 3-2 lead.

Chicago scored the only goal of the first period on a fluky bounce at 8:42. The Wolves rimmed the puck into the Admirals zone from the right wing red line. Murray went behind the net to receive the puck, but it hit a seam in the glass and bounced into the crease where Ryan Suzuki slapped it into the open goal.

Milwaukee tied the game at 4:09 of the second period. Wolves forward Nikita Pavlychev tried to fling the puck out of the defensive zone, but Oasiz Wiesblatt knocked it down and kicked it toward the slot. Cole O’Hara sent a wrist shot into the goal for his fifth marker of the season.

Chicago reclaimed the lead when Brind’Amour converted a feed from the slot at 14:07 of the second period. The pass came from behind the Admirals net and Brind’Amour was able to send the puck over Murray’s right shoulder.

Carr crossed the middle of the Wolves line and whipped a shot past the stick of goalie Cayden Primeau for his team-leading ninth goal of the campaign.

Chicago scored twice more late in the third frame. Justin Robidas scored at 16:24 and Bradly Nadeau added an empty-netter at 18:22.
