Marsellas Coleman, 25, was the victim who died last week from injuries sustained in a shooting on the south side, according to the Dane County Medical Examiner.
The shooting originally happened on the 2700 block of McDivitt Road Sept. 28 around 9:45 in the morning. Coleman was transferred then to a local hospital, where he died Oct. 10. He was shot in the head, according to the Madison Police Department.
MPD said in the last incident report on the homicide that the suspect, Brandon Crockett, 27, remains at large.
“Crockett should be considered armed and dangerous and anyone with information should call 911,” MPD Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain wrote in the report. “To date, seven people have been arrested on tentative charges - unrelated to the shooting - as detectives have investigated the case.”
MPD arrested the “people of interest” Sept. 30 after they received information that they were in the area of Hanson Road and Portage Road.
“When officers stopped the vehicle multiple subjects fled into the nearby wooded area. Numerous businesses were asked to shelter in place,” Sergeant Jason Sweeney wrote in an Sept. 30 press release. “After an extensive search, three subjects were taken into custody.”
The original incident had no other injuries. MPD officers found more than 25 casings at the scene and two bullets in the side of an apartment building near the seen. Leopold Elementary School was put on lockdown as a precaution at that time as well. MPD officers later determined through the tentative arrests that the incident was personal between Coleman and Crockett, and was not gang- or drug-related.
MPD said anyone with information related to Crockett should call 911 immediately because he is “ considered armed and dangerous.”
