A Milwaukee man has been charged with murder for a shooting death last fall, as well as for the attempted murder of two witnesses to the original crime.
Michael Cooper is suspected of shooting and killing Michael Patton in October near Mike’s Place Tavern on Silver Spring Drive. Patton was shot three times and his face and head were badly beaten.
According to court records, Cooper fled the scene before police arrived. However, Milwaukee police said they were able to match DNA at the scene to Cooper.
