Several days prior, Stengel, of Cudahy, cashed a $7,000 check and showed off the wad of dollars bills to co-workers, including Ingram, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Police allege the money was behind the fatal encounter.

‘Is this about Alex?’

When investigators went to Ingram’s house, his girlfriend asked, ‘Is this about Alex?’

Police say they found a gun in a backpack in Ingram’s home.

The suspect is being held on a $200,000 bond.
