Prosecutors Expand Charges Against Marquette Sexual Assault Suspect

Authorities say DNA and witness statements link Tedrick A. Boone to a November break-in that left a man with multiple stab wounds and prompted new felony counts.

Overview

  • Prosecutors filed five new charges in connection with a November 2025 West Highland Avenue break-in, including attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless injury, false imprisonment and burglary.
  • Detectives say forensic evidence tied Boone to the scene; investigators reported DNA matches and found a knife, blood patterns, a blood‑soaked sock and a small ball of hair inside the home.
  • Police accounts in the complaint describe a woman pinned in her bedroom by an intruder, a male resident who fought with the attacker and a roommate who seized the knife during a struggle.
  • The injured resident was taken to Froedtert Hospital with six to seven stab wounds and later required surgery for punctures to the liver and lung and a cut to an artery, according to charging documents.
  • Boone still faces the March charges for an alleged sexual assault near Marquette University, and prosecutors say linking the two incidents may let them pursue consolidated prosecution and stiffer penalties.
