One of Wisconsin’s most wanted fugitives is a skilled shooter who is accused of killing two family members, shooting police, burning down his father’s farm and then disappearing.
Kevin Anderson has been on the run since the Wild West-like gun battle on June 16, 2020, when a deputy from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary call.
A quick gunshot rang out as the deputy ducked behind a police SUV, according to body camera footage.
“Shots were fired at the residence. Shots fired,” he shouted to dispatch as another shot was fired.
The officer ran behind the police SUV for cover while another salvo erupted in the background, the video showed.
“Return fire, top window,” shouted the officer.
The 15-minute body camera footage, obtained by Fox News Digital as part of a massive public records request, documents the harrowing exchange of gunfire in the small farm town of Sumner, Wisconsin, near quiet Lake Koshkonong.

The deputy fired four shots into the window as he backed into the driveway into the ditch, the criminal complaint against Anderson said.
Less than two minutes into the video, the deputy is seen crawling on the ground or crouching low in the grass as he tells dispatchers he found the bodies of Jim and Nedra Lemke.
They are Anderson’s brother-in-law and sister, who are accused of killing him, according to police. They reported the burglary, which prompted law enforcement action.

“A woman. A gunshot wound to the stomach was lying on the ground. A man behind the SUV. Not involved,” the deputy told dispatchers as he lay down in a ditch for cover.
Gunfire continues to explode in the background. Anderson allegedly fired at least 12 shots at police, according to the complaint.
At this point, only the grass and the brief flash of the police officer’s gun are visible on the bodycam as he crawls back to his patrol vehicle.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice “found evidence that multiple shots were fired into Deputy Victim 3’s squad vehicle mostly into the driver’s area,” the complaint states.

Within minutes of backup arriving on scene, “dark smoke and visible flames” engulfed the two-story home, according to the complaint.
The body camera footage ends with the deputy getting into the passenger seat of another officer’s vehicle as they drive away from the burning building as a large plume of smoke rises into the air.
The police investigation included several interviews with Anderson’s family and friends.
Law enforcement learned Anderson allegedly went into a rage after he learned his father had named his sister executor of his estate. His funeral was four days before the shooting.
The home Anderson allegedly burned was owned by his father and left to his sister in a will, according to the criminal complaint.

Police found the physical will on the kitchen table at Anderson’s home, about six miles from the scene, when they executed one of several search warrants, according to the complaint.
During the commotion, Anderson was seen running from the burning building.
No human remains were found among the rubble, and the vast wooded area made Anderson’s search more complicated.

One of the people interviewed by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office was one of Anderson’s hunting buddies, who told officers that Anderson “could make shots that other people couldn’t.”
The lead investigator on the case, Detective Ryan McIntyre, told Fox News Digital that there had been no sightings of Anderson in more than three years.
He is believed to be alive.
