One year ago today, at approximately 6:56am, a mother and her two young children were brutally attacked by an unknown gunman in the 2700 block of Dahle St. It is presumed that the gunman followed the victims from their residence, located in Kennedy Heights apartments.  While traveling in the 2700 block of Dahle St., the car in which the gunman was riding, cut the victim off, forcing their car to stop. The gunman then exited the car and fired multiple rounds into the car that the victim and her two young children were traveling in. 

Violent Crime Unit detectives have reviewed footage from the Kennedy Heights apartment's area and believe that the suspects drove around the area near the Kennedy Heights apartments between the hours of 05:30AM to 06:45AM, on January 29th, 2020.  

With the permission of the victim, we are releasing video footage and images of the shooting in hopes someone from the public will be able to identify the suspects or provide more information about the incident.

If you or anyone you know has any information that will lead to the identification of the parties involved, please contact the Madison Police Department Violent Crime Unit.
