Madgas Arrested in Summer 2020 Crime Spree

Madison police have arrested Apolinar Gatica, dubbed “Madgas,” the alleged mastermind behind 18 violent shootings and arson attacks across the city between June and August 2020 — including the tragic shooting of 11-year-old Anisa Scott. The crimes, tied to an organized marijuana trafficking network, led to a multi-agency investigation that culminated in Gatica’s arrest. Facing racketeering and conspiracy charges under Wisconsin’s Organized Crime Control Act, he could face up to 30 years in prison if convicted. His court appearance is set for Monday, July 6th — a major step toward justice for victims and their families. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
