A domestic fight July 15 on Madison's South Side left one man injured and a woman dead, according to police. 

 

According to the Madison Police Department, police were called to an apartment inside 910 West Badger Road to investigate reports of a stabbing. At the apartment, police discovered an adult woman dead from apparent stab wounds. Police also found an injured male, later identified as Madison resident Daniel L. Wright, 50, who also appeared to have suffered stab wounds.
