Miles Bradley
TOWN OF AMHERST, WI (WSAU) — The Portage County Sheriff’s Office has released the names of those involved in Sunday morning’s shooting incident in Amherst.
The victim has been identified as 92-year-old Clarence H. Banks. Officers say he was visiting a relative in the home on Yellow Brick Road at about 12:30 AM Sunday.
During the visit officers say 78-year-old Miles Bradley got into an argument with Bank’s relative, then armed himself with a handgun and said he would kill Banks.
Other housemates were moving to intervene in the argument when Bradley allegedly pulled the trigger and killed Banks. Officers were called to the scene, and Bradley was arrested without incident.
Charges of first-degree intentional homicide have been recommended to the Portage County District Attorney’s office.
Officers add that Bradley lived in the home with Banks’ relative and another person.
Bradley is being held on a $1 million bond. As of Monday afternoon, no court action in the case had been scheduled.
