MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Authorities say a man has been arrested in connection with a Christmas Eve homicide in Madison.
The victim has been identified as Sheila Green, 63, of Madison. The suspect was booked shortly after midnight Wednesday on a tentative charge of first-degree intentional homicide, police said.
Green was shot to death, according to Madison Police Lt. Kipp Hartman.
“The investigation is still in the very early stages, but at this time we do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the community,” Hartman said in a statement.
The incident is the fourth reported homicide in Madison this year and the second this month. Marcus T. Hamilton, 20, is charged with the Dec. 14 shooting death of Gunnar T.G. Holum, 18, after a drug deal turned into a robbery.
