MADISON, Ill. — The Madison Police Department is asking for the public’s help in finding a man they consider to be armed and dangerous.
Oreido S. Morris is suspected of being involved in a gun fight on Aug. 27. During the incident, police said people in two cars started shooting at each other in the 1500 block of Fourth Street. It happened in the middle of the street at 5:10 p.m.
