WEST ALLIS — A suspect associated with the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old Hank Brown-Rockow is in custody, according to police.
The West Allis Police Department sent out an update on Tuesday afternoon saying they had an adult woman in custody that they believe is involved. WAPD did not give any information regarding the woman's relationship to the boy or her identity. Police aren't looking for any additional suspects.
