UPDATED Sept. 15:
Police have arrested a man in connection with Sunday's fatal shooting on Cherry Street in Green Bay, and also identified the victim.
The victim is Guled Abdulkadir Hirsi, 20, of Green Bay.
A 28-year-old Milwaukee man was arrested at 2 a.m. by Milwaukee Police and the Department of Criminal Investigation. Green Bay Police are now questioning that man. NBC26 is choosing not to name him until he's been charged.
Police believe the shooting was the result of an argument over a heroin deal, according to Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith. The man arrested is believed to be a heroin dealer, Chief Smith said, who has sold the drug in Northeast Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Investigators have worked around the clock the last four days to identify this man and the victim, according to police. However, it was difficult to identify these men because witnesses only knew them by nicknames, police said.
In addition, because it was a drug crime, many witnesses were not cooperative with police, Chief Smith said. He said those people could face obstruction charges.
=============================================================
Green Bay Police are investigating a homicide on the 700 block of Cherry Street.
Police were called to the home around 4:20 p.m. Sunday for reports of a person with a gunshot wound.
A young African-American man was found shot. First responders attempted to revive him. Police say he was taken to the hospital where he died.
So far neighbors and witnesses have been interviewed, but no suspect has been identified. The suspect is still at large and police say still armed. While police believe the victim knew his attacker and it was not a random shooting, the public should be aware that a person capable of committing this crime is still out there.
The victim has only been identified so far as an African American male in his mid-twenties.
