    Title winning college gymnast, Kara Welsh (21), shot and killed by 23 year old man after altercation on campus

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...ter-rcna169181

    A man has been arrested in the shooting death of a national title-winning University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast near campus, police said.

    Whitewater police said the suspect, identified only as a 23-year-old man who knew the victim, shot Kara Welsh, 21, after an altercation at a campus-area apartment late Friday.
    In an earlier statement, the police department said a 23-year-old man was present when officers responded to a report of a gunshot victim Friday. A woman, later identified as Welsh, had been shot multiple times and was dead when officers arrived, police said.

    "Through investigation, it was determined that leading up to the shooting, an altercation had occurred between the two," police said.

    The killing took place on the 100 block of Whitewater Street, about a mile east of the school's main campus, at a residence listed on a university web page as off-campus housing.

    Welsh was a business management major from Plainfield, Illinois, who won an individual national title on the vault for the gymnastics team last year, according to the school.

    She was a vault “phenom” who holds four of the eight highest vault scores in team history, the university's athletic department said in a statement Sunday.

    She was so talented, what a waste.

    There is no need for this senseless violence. Unless she had a gun pointed at his head, he had no reason to shoot her. Nothing she could have said could warrant killing her.

    My guess is that it's a boyfriend she broke up with or someone she rejected. It irks me that they aren't naming the shooter.

    @RBW I agree with you. I think it was either a boyfriend on someone that was obsessed with her. She was so young and talented.

    I don't get it. Why aren't they naming her killer? Makes zero sense.

    Punk. Ass. Bitch. And he shot her multiple times, because he's a bag of shit. I hope he gets the maximum sentence. Bastard.
    Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.

    Ugh, Chad. Sorry to all the good Chads out there but I've never met one. Agree that this is probably a domestic, sad situation. She had her whole life ahead of her. Rest in peace, Kara...
    You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

    I was feeling a little bad about us talking about some guy based on internet comment rumours, but they have made it official. I'm pretty sure he should be charged with something for that neck, like carrying a dangerous weapon on your body.

    A Loves Park man is identified as the suspect involved in the shooting of a UW-Whitewater student, Whitewater police confirmed Tuesday.

    Chad Richards, 23, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct while armed. Just before midnight Aug. 30, Whitewater police say Kara Welsh, 21, of Plainfield, Ill., was shot and killed in an apartment in the 100 block of West Whitewater Street.

    Same, RBW. I don't like to go off rumors, but it was fairly consistent chatter about it being him. I saw an article saying his bail is set to $1 million because he is considered a significant flight risk. I wonder why.
