The man accused of fatally shooting 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast Kara Welsh has been identified as Chad T. Richards, police said.
Richards, 23, of Loves Park, Illinois was arrested Friday night after allegedly shooting the award-winning gymnast multiple times at an apartment about a block from the university’s main campus, Whitewater Police Department said.
Whitewater police have requested charges from the District Attorney’s office of first-degree intentional homicide, endangering safety by the use of a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct while armed, cops said.
Richards is set to appear in Walworth Court Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon.
Police believe that Welsh knew the suspect, but it’s unclear what their relationship was.
