Clarence H. Banks, 92, was fatally shot while visiting a relative’s home on Yellow Brick Road in Amherst, Wisconsin, on November 27, 2022. Around 12:30 AM a heated argument broke out between 78-year-old Miles W. Bradley, who lived at the house, and the relative. Bradley reportedly armed himself with a handgun and threatened to kill Banks during the disturbance.

Others in the home tried to intervene. Banks, who had been sleeping in the basement, began to come up the stairs and investigators say Bradley leaned over the railing and fired one shot. Deputies found Banks at the bottom of the basement stairs; Bradley was taken into custody at the scene and charged with first-degree intentional homicide. The weapon was recovered from a table in the home and Bradley was held on $1 million bond.

If anyone was at the house that night or has information about what led to the argument, please share what is known.
