MILWAUKEE — A 33-year-old man
is accused of fatally shooting his 39-year-old cousin in
Milwaukee.
Brian A. Patterson is charged
with first-degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous
weapon, in the death of Joseph D. McGowan. Both live in
Milwaukee.
According to a criminal
complaint, McGowan and his girlfriend went to Patterson's
home Tuesday afternoon so they could get tax-related
documents from Patterson.
The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel reported that Patterson arrived home a short time
later and the two argued. The complaint said at one point
Patterson pulled a handgun from his jacket and fired several
shots. McGowan died at the scene.
Patterson was arrested at his
house a short time later after a brief struggle. If
convicted, Patterson faces up to life in prison.
