Drone locates suspect in shots fired incident hiding on rooftop

A drone was able to locate the suspect in a shots fired incident hiding on a rooftop.

Multiple people called to report hearing gunshots along the 2800 block of Hoard Street around 6:10 p.m. on Tuesday.

Officers arrived and quickly began searching the area and located multiple shell casings. No buildings or vehicles were damaged, and no injuries were reported.

Officers reviewed digital evidence of this shooting and were provided descriptions of the suspects by witnesses. One of the suspects was spotted in the Darbo neighborhood getting inside a vehicle. Officers attempted a traffic stop, but the suspect sped away. 

He then ran a stop sign, continued to travel at a high rate of speed and did not slow down once he entered a crowded grocery store parking lot.

Officers deployed two sets of tire deflation devices and kept track of the vehicle. The vehicle stopped a short time later on North Streat, near E. Dayton Street, and the suspect took off running. 

Officers formed a perimeter around the area the suspect ran toward, and drones were used to try to locate him.

He was found on the roof of a shed along the 2600 block of E. Dayton Street.

The suspect refused to listen to officers and come down from the building. He eventually jumped and was safely taken into custody around 6:50 p.m. 

Alonte T. Kingcade, 25, was arrested for second-degree recklessly endangering safety, knowingly fleeing an officer and resisting arrest. He also had outstanding charges in another case. Kingcade was medically cleared by EMS and taken to the Dane County Jail.  

This remains an ongoing and active investigation.
