HORROR: Young Husband and Father to Four Children Beaten to Death by Man Released From Jail for Similar Assault

A young husband and father to four children was brutally beaten to death by a man who was just released from jail.

Dylan Plouff, 34, was working as a security guard in Milwaukee when he confronted a man who was trying to break into cars on May 18.

The suspect, 32-year-old Daniel Mcrae, brutally beat Plouff.

Mcrae was released from jail on May 12 without any charges for a similar assault. During the May 12 arrest, Mcrae injured an officer.

Six days later, Mcrae fatally beat Plouff.

Plouff died on June 2 from his injuries.

TMJ4 reported:

The 34-year-old man who was assaulted at the MacArthur Square garage in May has died, according to Milwaukee police.

His family tells TMJ4 that he was working as a security guard when police say he was allegedly assaulted after he “encountered” a 32-year-old man who was trying to enter cars in the garage in the early morning hours of Monday, May 18.

The man then allegedly assaulted the 34-year-old, identified by his family as Dylan Plouff, who was taken to a hospital. Police later confirmed to TMJ4 on June 3 that he had since died, but said his cause of death has not been determined.

The 32-year-old man accused of assaulting Plouff was arrested, and criminal charges were referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office, which confirmed to TMJ4 that the case was referred to them but said it is “still pending investigation at this time.”

The Plouff family launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses.

“Dylan Plouff, a hardworking husband and father, was tragically injured while working as a security guard in Milwaukee. As a result, his mother, his wife, and his 4 children are faced with the unconscionable task of burying Dylan at the young age of 34,” the GoFundMe read.

“We ask for support with Dylan’s final expenses and assistance to help his young family get through the coming months in his absence. Dylan was a kind-hearted young man who would give the shirt off his back to help those in need, and he will be lovingly missed forever,” the GoFundMe said.
