Desmond Mayo
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — The Marathon County Sheriff’s Office says it’s likely that Desmond Mayo has left Wisconsin.
Sheriff’s Officials say the 29-year-old remains at large after the incident, which ended with a gunshot victim presented himself to a Weston-area emergency room Saturday night. Investigators say the victim, who has not been identified, was shot multiple times and identified Mayo as the gunman through photos.
The investigation was initially handled through the Everest Metro Police Department but was turned over to the Sheriff’s office when it was determined that the actual shooting took place under their jurisdiction.
The Sheriff’s office did not issue a press release immediately following the incident to protect the integrity of the investigation. They add that there is no danger to the public in the Wausau area, but Mayo should be considered armed and dangerous.
Court records show charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide have been filed against him, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Additionally, he has two other drug-related cases open against him.
No further information is available at this time, though officers will provide updates as appropriate.
