Polk County fisherman stabbed to death in confrontation with anglers along the St. Croix River

April 15, 2015 - 1:17 PM


A Polk County man was stabbed to death Tuesday night after an argument between fishermen along the banks of the St. Croix River escalated.

A running, three-hour argument between two groups of fishermen on the St. Croix River ended in tragedy Tuesday night when a man was stabbed to death at Interstate Park in St. Croix Falls, Wis.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, the confrontation began about 6:30 p.m. when two men who live in Polk County, Wis. were fishing on the Minnesota side of the river. At some point, the men began arguing with three fishermen on the opposite riverbank.

The verbal dispute continued over the next several hours, then escalated when the two men fishing on the Minnesota side of the river crossed to confront the others about 9:45 p.m., the sheriff’s office said.

A “brief physical confrontation” ensued, and one of the men from Polk County was stabbed with a knife.

The victim, from St. Croix Falls, has not been identified. He died at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.

On Tuesday, authorities were asking for the public’s help in finding the three men, who fled the scene. They are believed to be in their late teens or early 20s.

All are believed to be friends who traveled together, but in two separate vehicles — one a blue Chevrolet pickup truck with a Tonneau-style cover, the other a small- to midsize passenger car. Both had Minnesota license plates.


Two of the three fled in the car. The other, accompanied by a dog — either a golden retriever, yellow lab or similar breed — named Gunner, left in the pickup truck.

Authorities also are seeking the public’s help in trying to identify a group of five people who were not involved in the incident but may have witnessed the argument.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Polk County Sheriff’s Department at 715-485-8300.

How much does any one want to bet that alcohol was involved in all this?

Freaking stupidity.

A Wisconsin man was fatally stabbed after getting into an altercation with other anglers along the St. Croix River in Interstate Park Tuesday night.

The victim – Peter Kelly, 34, of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin – was fishing on the Minnesota side of the river with another man when they got in a verbal altercation with three men on the Wisconsin side of the river, WQOW reports.

The situation escalated, and the groups confronted each other on the Wisconsin side, KSTP notes, where Kelly was fatally stabbed.

The three men immediately fled the scene, KARE 11 says.

Kelly was married and a father to five children all under the age of 9, the Pioneer Press reports. KARE 11 notes he was a popular coach in the St. Croix Falls youth wrestling program.

A GoFundMe Page has been set up to help support Kelly’s family. In its first three hours online, it had raised $5,145 of its $50,000 goal.

Officials are asking for the public’s help to identify the three men who were fishing on the Wisconsin side of Interstate Park between 6:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Tuesday, WEAU reports.

All the men are believed to be white males in their late teens or early 20s, who fled in two separate cars with Minnesota license plates, reports say. One of the men had a golden retriever or yellow lab named Gunner with them.

Investigators are also hoping to speak with a group of five people who weren’t involved with the incident, but who were at the park at the time of the altercation and may be able to provide more information, reports note.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Polk County Sheriff’s Department at 715-485-8300.

The stupidity and total disregard for human life over trivial events continually amazes me....this act reinforces it. I can't wait to hear the rest of this story when they catch up with the suspects.

[gimpfinger]

The 'Sconi guys fishing the MN side. MN guys fishing the WI side. Fowler did a C&P on a C&P... it's a conspiracy!

Whoever is the one that did the stabbing is the only one that will hold out talking. The other two are scared chitless right now, one of them will break, or they'll both convince the the stabber to turn himself in.
