MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A 48-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of a man at an encampment under I-794 on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
A criminal complaint says Marcus Harrison is accused of killing 62-year-old Randy Harvey near 6th and Clybourn. Police report officers arrived about 9:28 p.m. and found Harvey with blunt force injuries.
He was pronounced dead on scene.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner reported Harvey suffered multiple blunt force injuries to his face, head and neck.
Witnesses told detectives Harrison accused Harvey of owing him money before choking him, punching him, kicking him and stomping on his head and abdomen. Witnesses also said Harrison went through Harvey’s pockets while he lay motionless.
Three witnesses separately identified Harrison, according to the complaint.
Detectives searched a tent tied to Harrison and found personal items and fingerprints linking him to the site. Officers later located him at Sinai Hospital, where they observed cuts and dried blood on his hands and blood spatter on his shoes.
