MPD arrests 1, looks for ‘armed and dangerous’ suspect in strip mall shooting

Madison police have arrested one person and are still looking for another suspect in an April shooting at a strip mall on Mineral Point Road.

Police said they believe Murad S. Laiti, 21, of Madison, was driving the car from which the gun was fired.

The suspected shooter, Nigel T. Goodwan Jr., 21, of Madison, remains at large, and should be considered armed and dangerous, officials said.

Authorities say they were called to the 7800 block of Mineral Point Road just after noon April 18 on reports of gun shots in the area and found a 28-year-old Madison man with a gunshot wound.

Laiti was arrested on tentative charges of party to a crime of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and harboring or aiding a felon.

Goodwan is wanted on multiple charges, including attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

Officials said anyone with information on Goodwan’s whereabouts should call 911.
