In a tragic case from Madison, Wisconsin, Jeffrey Endres, 49, was found dead in his jail cell a week after he allegedly murdered chiropractor Kami Hansen and her dog by intentionally driving his SUV into them. Teh incident occurred on April 28, when Endres reportedly accelerated his vehicle towards hansen, her husband, and their son during a family walk, as an act of revenge related to a past incident involving their children. While Hansen died from her injuries,her 13-year-old son sustained a concussion and required surgery. Details revealed that Endres believed the incident was a form of “vigilante justice” following a sensitive crime involving the children. Before his death, he faced charges, including frist -degree intentional homicide, which carried a potential life sentence. The exact cause of Endres’s death remains under examination.

One week after a man allegedly murdered a mother with his SUV in an act of revenge, police found him dead in his Madison, Wisconsin, jail cell.

Deputies at Dane County Jail discovered Jeffrey Endres, 49, unresponsive on Tuesday morning, according to WKOW-TV in Madison.

Medical staff and paramedics were unable to revive Endres, and it is unclear what caused him to die, as police are still investigating.

On April 28, authorities said, Endres plowed his car into a mother, father and son who were out walking their black pit bull.

Local chiropractor Kami Hansen — the mother — died along with the dog, while Hansen’s 13-year-old son suffered a concussion and other injuries; he later needed surgery.

Paul Hansen survived with only minor cuts and scratches on his leg, according to WMTV-TV.

Multiple witnesses, including Paul Hansen, said they saw the car speed up before striking the family.

Kami Hansen was reportedly thrown 25 to 30 feet from the point of impact.

“It has come to light that this was not an accident. This was an intentional act by Mr. Endres,” Deputy District Attorney William Brown said. “This was, as the complaint shows, essentially an act of vigilante justice.”

The criminal complaint showed that, until recently, the Hansen and Endres families were not only neighbors, but friends.

That changed after a “sensitive crime” occurred between one of Hansen’s children — the one struck in the incident — and one of Endres’.

Officials have not disclosed what the incident was about, but Endres had reportedly read the police report about the case just hours before striking the Hansens with his Chevrolet Traverse.

The “sensitive incident” reportedly happened in March.

Police found video evidence on the 13-year-old Hansen’s phone that he “victimized Endres’ child,” WKOW reported.

Both children involved in the alleged incident were underage, according to Wisconsin Public Radio.

After the crash, Endres told medical staff he had been having suicidal thoughts over the previous month.

He also claimed he had merely lost control of the vehicle while going 25 mph.

But a nearby Uber driver witnessed the event.

“If he’s telling you he veered off the roadway, then he’s lying to you,” the driver said. “I saw that vehicle jerk.”

Endres had been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and two felony counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

He was also charged with felony mistreatment of animals.

On Monday, a Dane County judge had set his bail at $1 million.

Had Endres been convicted, he faced life in prison.
