MADISON, Wis. — The Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the victim of a deadly shooting that occurred last week on Madison’s north side as 30-year-old Lee Scott III, a resident of Madison.
Scott was shot just after 4 a.m. on Tuesday in the 2100 block of Schlimgen Avenue and was transported to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Thursday, officials confirmed.
According to Madison police, the shooting appears to have been targeted, and a person of interest was detained shortly after the incident. Authorities have not released that individual’s name or said if any charges have been filed.
A forensic autopsy was conducted on Saturday; however, as of Monday afternoon, the official cause and manner of Scott’s death remain pending, with additional testing underway.
The case remains under active investigation by the Madison Police Department.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Madison police or reach out anonymously to Madison Area Crime Stoppers.
