21-year-old Kara Welsh, a Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast who won an individual title on the vault in 2023, was found dead following a fatal shooting that took place at her off-campus home, about a block away from the university campus.
When they arrived at the scene, the police found the suspect, whom they believe Welsh knew and who was later identified by her friends as her boyfriend, as per the New York Post.
“Also present in the apartment was a 23-year-old male who was known to the deceased female,” the statement released by the police said.
