WISCONSIN — Authorities say a person of interest in a shooting that killed three overnight in Kenosha has been taken into custody. The investigation involves several crime scenes.
The unidentified suspect is expected to be charged with at least one count of first degree intentional homicide with other charges pending.
Around 12:40 a.m. local time, Kenosha County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Somers House Tavern — 1548-Sheridan Road — for reports of a shooting that resulted in three people dying. Two other gunshot victims were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries. At least one other person was also shot.
The suspect was described as a black male over six feet tall wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt.
“This appears to be a targeted and isolated incident,” the Sheriff’s office said in a statement. ” We do not believe there is a threat to the community at this time. The names, ages, and cities of residence for the victims are still being determined.”
A motive for the crime remains under investigation.
