On February 23, 2022 at 3:47pm, La Crosse Police and La Crosse Fire responded to the area of 518 Logan Street for a single set of footprints on the ice that appeared to walk out to the open water around the boathouses on the Black River but no footsteps returned. An individual was discovered deceased in the open water near the footprints. La Crosse Police continue to work diligently to identify this individual.
