Arrest made in George Webb cook murder
MILWAUKEE-Police say they have made an arrest in the early Friday morning shooting that left a George Webb restaurant cook dead.
It was around 2 a.m. when a group of unruly customers was asked to leave the eatery not too far from the UW Milwaukee campus.
When the waitress couldn't handle the group on her own, a 21 year old cook came to her aid and got the disorderly patrons to leave.
One of those patrons returned a short time later with a gun and shot the cook in the chest. He died at the scene.
Based on surveillance and interviews with witnesses, police developed a suspect quickly. They say he has a criminal record.
Within hours of reporting that they had a name for the suspect, then came word that they had him in custody.
This is the MPD statement:
George Webb issued a statement expressing its condolences for the victim's family. It has not indicated when the restaurant would open again.
