SOUTH MILWAUKEE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A suspect has been charged in the homicide of a South Milwaukee Pizza Hut manager. 

The body of 55-year-old Alexander Stengel was found in a garbage cart outside the restaurant near Carroll and Chicago Avenue Wednesday morning, Feb. 7. 

On Feb. 11, officers announced an arrest was made in connection to Stengel's death. 

The accused is 31-year-old Kavonn Ingram, who now faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, (as a party to a crime), hiding a corpse (as a party to a crime) armed robbery (use of force- as a party to a crime) and possession of a firearm by a felon.

According to a criminal complaint, investigators determined Stengel was likely killed in the kitchen area of the Pizza Hut, wrapped in a garbage bag from the restaurant, placed in a garbage can and then wheeled outside to the dumpster crib area - all before 10:25 a.m. on Feb. 5.

A medical examiner's report determined the manner of death was homicide, noting a gunshot wound and puncture wounds to the victim's neck and head. 

Prosecutors say surveillance video obtained by officers shows a suspect dragging a garbage can from the area of Pizza Hut toward the dumpster crib the morning of Feb. 5. The video reportedly shows the suspect struggling to pull the garbage can, as though it contains something heavy. 

The complaint says computer records show the victim clocked in for work at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 5 and clocked out of work at 10:50 a.m. The security video shows the can containing the victim's body had been dragged to its location about 25 minutes before this time, indicating the suspect is an employee familiar with the Pizza Hut computer and time management system. 

Investigators learned that days prior, the victim had shown a large roll of cash to several employees, Ingram being one of them. The complaint says an investigation revealed Stengel had cashed an inheritance check just before heading to work that day and likely had $7,000 in his possession. 

Detectives also learned the victim was supposed to work on Feb. 6 but did not show up. The complaint says text messages were sent to a general manager's phone on Feb. 5 claiming to be the victim and detailing reasons why he needed to leave work early that morning. 

Investigators served a search warrant at Ingram's residence and discovered a handgun and evidence of blood stains.

An initial appearance was scheduled for Friday morning.
