According to police, an officer responded Friday to a 911 call about a
man who had assaulted a victim and was dodging cars in traffic. The cop
followed the suspect into a nearby apartment, where the man allegedly

ensuing struggle, patrolman Matt Kenny fatally shot the suspect.
Family and friends have identified the victim as Anthony “Tony”
Robinson, a 19-year-old Madison resident. “The initial finding at the
scene did not reflect a gun or anything of that nature that would have

according to police records. Cops were called to the scene around 6

gun, entering an apartment building,” according to a police report.
