A detective responded to Children’s Wisconsin during the course of the investigation — and met with the defendant, Marquon Howard. The complaint says at the time, it had not yet been determined that Howard played a role in the incident. Howard told the detective he was walking in an alley with two people towards the smoke shop. In front of the shop, there was a Jeep and the driver “may have said something to them but that he did not hear what was said,” the complaint says. Howard said the two people he was with went towards the Jeep, he followed, “and that (one person) fired at the driver and the driver returned fire. Howard stated that he ran and realized he was shot and laid down in the grass in front of a residence,” the complaint says.

Later, the detective conducted a Mirandized interview with Howard. Howard stated that the third person in their group was the one that shot. Howard “stated that he did not hear what the driver of the Jeep said because he was the first person inside of the smoke shop.” The complaint says he also “stated that he is not dumb enough to shoot himself, and he does not have a firearm.”

The detective learned at Children’s Wisconsin that Howard suffered one bullet strike. He also “determined through the surveillance video and Howard’s pants recovered at the hospital that Howard likely did shoot himself in the leg when putting the firearm, seen in the video, in his pants,” the complaint says. The detective noted in the complaint that “the pants recovered had no bullet strike to them.”

According to the criminal complaint, surveillance video shows Howard’s friend exiting the smoke shop and firing shots at the Jeep. “Howard then exits and fires a shot at the black Jeep,” the complaint says.

Through open records FOX6 News obtained, there are new details about the case. It explains how surveillance and cell phone records led to charges.

Investigators say he was at the game to watch a loved one play when he got from the stands and headed to the parking lot to get a child a drink of water. As he walked from the bleachers, he got caught in the middle of a fight.

Prosecutors say 30-year-old Gavino Avalos-Morales pulled out a gun, pointed it at Barnes and shot him in the chest. He died at the hospital.

Investigators learned through interviews the accused gunman was never supposed to be at the game.

An acquaintance said Gavino-Avalos gave him a ride and followed him inside with another man. Minutes later, an argument began and shots were fired.

Surveillance video showed the suspect running away, but more importantly, arriving in a white Mazda CX-9.

Police were able to track the vehicle back to the accused shooter. They arrested the 30-year-old four days later.

When he was taken into custody, police searched his cellphone and discovered he was contacted by criminal defense attorneys in the days after the shooting. He also texted a loved one that his life was over.
