Madison police released photos Thursday of two additional suspects who were allegedly involved in the August attack against Badger running back Montee Ball.
Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain said the MPD and other law enforcement groups including the University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department reviewed surveillance camera evidence before releasing the images to the public through Madison Area Crime Stoppers.
Police have already arrested three UW-Madison students for substantial battery but believe five people allegedly attacked Ball as he was walking on the 500 block of University Avenue at approximately 2 a.m. Aug. 1, according to DeSpain.
“The original witnesses to the attack have told us and [have] been consistent in that there were five people involved,” DeSpain said.
UW-Madison junior Robert Wilks and seniors Wendell Venerable and Deonte Wilson pleaded not guilty to the substantial battery charges at their preliminary hearing Oct. 2.
DeSpain said the students declined to identify the additional suspects.
