Listen to this articleOSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors say a discarded cigarette led to charges against a man accused in a fatal tavern shooting in Oshkosh.
Casey Cameron was charged on Wednesday with first-degree intentional homicide in a shooting on Oct. 14 outside Short Branch Saloon.
Kevin “Hollywood” Hein was killed after he had followed an armed robber out of the bar.
WLUK-TV says a criminal complaint says Cameron entered the tavern with his face covered and ordered the bartender at gunpoint to fill a bag with money. The robber fled after shooting Hein in the parking lot.
Police on Nov. 1 followed Cameron after receiving a tip that he had matched a description of the suspect. The officer saw him toss a cigarette butt out of his vehicle and stopped to collect it. Prosecutors say DNA on the cigarette matches DNA left at the crime scene.
