A 33-year-old Wisconsin man was recently sentenced to five consecutive life sentences in prison for killing several members of his family, including his wife and their unborn child.

The murder occurred in April of last year. The man drove with his wife to Chicago, where they stayed with his mother and several of his nieces and nephews. The man opened fire on his family early in the morning as they slept, resulting in the deaths of his mother, son, two nieces, and pregnant wife. The man later confessed to committing the murders to the police, however, he did not say what caused him to kill his family.

The man also attempted to kill several other members of his family, which resulted in two sentences of thirty years in prison for attempted murder. The man pled guilty to all charges.

An Appleton man will be standing trial for allegedly providing the gun that was used to shoot a twenty-three-year-old Appleton man to death. The man who shot and killed the twenty-three-year-old man has already been sentenced to at least fifty years in prison without parole.

Prosecutors claim that the gun was provided by the Appleton man, who then persuaded the shooter to shoot the victim in his chest. The man's defending attorneys have argued that, while the man did provide a gun, he did not intend to kill the victim and the shot that was fired did not directly hit the victim, but ricocheted off the ground and into the man's chest. If convicted, the man could spend several years in prison.

Appleton police arrested two Fox Valley women last Tuesday on charges of being a party to the crime of reckless homicide in the death of an 18-year old Menasha man.

When they originally found the body, Menasha police officers believed that the death of the 18 year old man was drug related and after toxicology reports came back found that he had high levels of methadone, a prescription drug, inside his system.

According to police, the 18-year old met up with the two women to buy the drug from them.

According to Channel3000.Com, "Madison police said Wednesday that arrest warrants have been issued for two suspects in connection with a shooting on the city's north side last weekend." 23-year-old Rufus G. Majette and 23-year-old Markis D. Terrell are being accused of "attempted first-degree intentional homicide," according to police. The shooting took place on Kennedy Heights Road last weekend.

Channel3000.Com reports, "Madison police responded to the 100 block of Kennedy Heights Road at about 5 a.m. Saturday on a report of shots fired and found a 25-year-oldman was shot." The man was taken to the hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening.

Authorities report that there was an alleged confrontation between the victim and one or two men that got physical "in the courtyard area of an apartment complex." Police warn these suspects are extremely dangerous.
