A Wisconsin man was arrested Friday in Simpsonville, Kentucky, about an hour away from where police say he shot two people, one of which died.
Shortly after midnight, Washington County 911 dispatch received calls that someone had broken into a residence in the 800 block of Claybrooke Avenue in Springfield, according to his arrest citation.
The caller said a man broke into the home, shot two people, then fled the scene on foot.
Officers found a woman dead inside the residence. She was shot and killed. Another woman was transported to a nearby hospital with an apparent gunshot wound to the face.
Investigators identified 23 year-old Roosevelt Davis, III as a suspect. A Shelbyville Police officer found Davis in Simpsonville and performed a traffic stop and able to detain him.
During a police interview, authorities say Davis admitted to robbing a bank in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, using the money from the burglary to buy two firearms and camouflage, then driving to Kentucky to kill the two victims.
Davis was charged with murder (domestic violence), attempted murder (domestic violence) and burglary (first degree).
He is being held at the Shelby County Detention Center on a $2 million cash bond.
