According to the release, HPD obtained warrants for Tyshaun Dominique Darnell Hampton of Huntsville, on Sept. 17, for murder and first-degree assault in connection with a Sept. 16 shooting on Binford Drive that left 25-year-old Caleb Troy Martin of Decatur and another man wounded.
After the warrants were issued, HPD requested assistance from the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force. The task force worked with the U.S. Marshals Eastern Wisconsin Violent Offender Task Force, which located Hampton in Milwaukee.
