PORTAGE, Wis. — A man charged with killing a Columbia County man inside his home more than three years ago was sentenced to life in prison on Monday.
Jason Kijewski, 45, will be eligible for extended supervision after 30 years, consecutive to any other sentences he is currently serving. Kijewski plead guilty last week to a single charge of first-degree intentional homicide for his role in the death of Keith Wolf in September 2019.

Kijewski was accused of breaking into Wolf’s home, then shooting him in the head as Wolf walked into his basement to check on a noise he and his wife heard. Kijewski told authorities that he chose Wolf’s home at random and did not intend to kill anyone during the burglary.
Wolf’s murder went unsolved for nearly a year before investigators finally arrested Kijewski in March 2021. DNA taken from the mask he was wearing during a police interview in January 2021 connected him to the scene.
