Antonio R. Stidhum, a 20-year-old man from Chicago, was shot and killed inside a first-floor apartment in the 1900 block of McKenna Boulevard in Madison on the afternoon of Saturday, January 18, 2020. Officers who entered the apartment found evidence of the shooting and Stidhum with multiple gunshot wounds; emergency responders were unable to save him. The Dane County Medical Examiner identified him and confirmed the cause of death.

Investigators believe Stidhum was specifically targeted. There were no signs of forced entry, and when police arrived other people who had been in the apartment appeared to have fled. The apartment’s primary tenant, a woman, was reported to be cooperating with the investigation. The Madison Police Violent Crime Unit handled the case, and as of early 2021 no arrests or publicly identified suspects had been announced.

Anyone with information about this homicide is asked to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers.
