By midafternoon on Monday, Black Bear Casino was subject to a heavy police presence. Police parked several vehicles at the main entrance of the casino while officials investigated the scene. Players who wanted to stay onsite and continue to gamble were escorted to an area of the gaming floor that remained open.

The casino is located on the Fond du Lac Reservation and operated by Fond du Lac Tribal Enterprises. Terry Savage, executive director of Fond du Lac Tribal Enterprises, stated that the death took place in a public area. Following the investigation, Savage said:

Our property is safe and secure.”

The incident took place just a short time after news revealed the murder of a 27-year-old woman and her 18-month-old son on the Fond du Lac Reservation. Police made an arrest in connection with the murders.

According to Savage, so far, there is no connection between the murders over the weekend and the incident that took place at the casino on Monday.
