Mukwonago School Board member Vito Schwartz has died

A Mukwonago School Board member who was on the board for nearly four years was found dead in his home Friday.

The Mukwonago Area School District announced in a statement Saturday that Vito Schwartz died Friday. He is survived by four children who are all Mukwonago High School graduates or current students, the district said in its statement.

“Vito was a vocal supporter of our district,” said Mukwonago Area School District superintendent Joe Koch in the district's statement. “Besides his work on our school board, Vito was active in the community as the co-owner of Semper Fi Roofing and a proud veteran of the Marine Corps. He will be greatly missed. We have a strong community and will work through the loss of Vito together. ”

It's unclear at this point if Schwartz's death is related to information contained in a news release the Town of Mukwonago Police Department sent the Journal Sentinel.

According to the department's news release, officers were dispatched Friday afternoon to a residence on County Highway E in the area of County Highway EE for a report of two dead people. They found a 45-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman, who were both dead with gunshot wounds from a small caliber firearm.

There was no sign of forced entry, police are not searching for any suspects and there is no danger to the community. The investigation is ongoing and the department is not releasing the names of the man and woman, according to a Town of Mukwonago Police Department news release.
