CARLTON, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say a Wisconsin man has died after being shot in northeastern Minnesota.
Carlton County Sheriff Kelly Lake said Monday that 57-year-old Andrew Gokee of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, died of his injury.
A 32-year-old man from Bayfield, Wisconsin, remains in jail. The sheriff’s office says prosecutors plan to file a criminal complaint Tuesday.
Authorities were called to the shooting just before midnight Friday. A man reported that Gokee, his brother, had been shot and that the suspect had run away.
Gokee was found shot in the head. A second man was found at the home with a superficial gun injury.
The Minnesota State Patrol conducted an air search, and the suspect was found in the woods, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.
