According to a criminal complaint, a witness told police that an after-bar party was going on at the building. The witness told police that Anderson accused Carey of being a police informant and wearing a wire. After Carey removed his clothing to prove he was not wearing a wire, and a group of people cleared the area, the witness told police that Carey shot at Anderson.
The complaint states that police found Anderson wrapped in garbage bags with shell casings from a .40-caliber handgun.
Carey's criminal history includes a 2003 conviction for attempted armed robbery in Racine and, more recently, a 2019 conviction of criminal trespassing in Illinois.
A status conference in the case is scheduled for Apil 15.
