From The Journal Times.com:


RACINE — U.S. Marshals arrested a man Wednesday in connection to the shooting death of 49-year-old Willie May on Aug. 8 in Racine.

Latrell Davis, who is 18, was charged with one count of first-degree homicide; two counts of attempted first-degree homicide; and one count of carjacking. Each count is a felony.

May and another man were shot in the 5500 block of Byrd Avenue. The other man, who is 44, survived.

According to a news release from the Racine Police Department, 17-year-old Cincere Davis and 15-year-old Alexjandro Medina are also suspects in the case.

Cincere Davis and Medina were taken into custody in August and face charges identical to Latrell Davis.

Cincere Davis is scheduled to appear in court for a status conference Oct. 23. Medina is scheduled for a status conference Oct. 7.

According to RPD, the U.S. Marshals Service found Latrell Davis at a residence in the 6300 block of 26th Avenue in Kenosha

Because the marshals were conducting an active search, Jerstad-Agerholm School, 3535 Lasalle St., and HOPE Christian School Via, 3502 Douglas Ave., were put on lockdown for a short time Wednesday.

Latrell Davis appeared in Racine County Court on Thursday. Commissioner Alice Rudebusch set a $1 million cash bond, according to online court records.

He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 1

RACINE — Jerstad-Agerholm K-8 School was under a lockdown and then sheltered in place for about an hour Wednesday while law enforcement searched for a fugitive in a nearby neighborhood.

According to Sgt. Kristi Wilcox, Racine Police Department public information officer, RPD was helping the U.S. Marshals Service search for a fugitive, who was eventually taken into custody in Kenosha around 1:30 p.m.

No Jerstad-Agerholm students or staff were injured Wednesday in relation to the situation.

After being contacted by law enforcement, the school went into a lockdown around noon, according to Stacy Tapp, Racine Unified School District chief of communication and community engagement.

School officials received more information a few minutes later, and the building then sheltered in place, meaning normal school activity occurred but no visitors could enter or exit the building.

Two additional people were taken into custody in Racine on unrelated charges during the fugitive investigation, according to Wilcox.

When the people were taken into custody, Jerstad-Agerholm stopped sheltering in place.

Regular building activities resumed Wednesday before the end of the school day, according to Tapp.

This is the first school year at the newly renovated Jerstad-Agerholm, 3535 LaSalle St.
