Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett appreciates the community’s patience as our detectives continue to investigate the officer involved shooting which occurred near the intersection of American Parkway and East Park Blvd. in the City of Madison.    

At this time, we are able to confirm the following facts related to this incident. On February 3, 2022, Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) agents were working collaboratively with federal agents and local officers to effectuate an arrest of Quadren Wilson.
