BLOOMINGTON – A Wisconsin man has been arrested in Bloomington in connection with a shooting last month in Green Bay.

Bloomington police reported arresting Trevon Massey, 22, of Green Bay on Wednesday in the 400 block of N. Catherine St.

Massey was wanted in connection with the shooting of a teenager in the leg at a Green Bay laundromat on August 14. The victim was treated and released according to the Green Bay Press Gazette, which also said police believe the shooting to be in retaliation for an earlier incident.

Bloomington police worked with the U.S. Marshal’s Violent Fugitive Task Force in the arrest.
