A 22-year-old man from Lake City, Minn., was being held Wednesday night on suspicion of fatally shooting his girlfriend, Angel L. Linderman, 28, also of Lake City, near Woodville, Wis.

Tanner Rix, who was also wanted on felony warrants from Wabasha County, remained in the St. Croix (Wis.) County Jail on Wednesday night in lieu of $250,000 bail.

According to the St. Croix County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 caller at 11:48 a.m. Tuesday told a dispatcher that he needed help for a passenger in their vehicle, as she had been shot.

Deputies drove to that rural location, about 2 miles north of Woodville, in the town of Baldwin.

At 260th Street and 90th Avenue, the deputies found a man standing outside a car parked in the middle of 260th Street. He was later identified as Rix.

The deputies took him into custody, approached the car and saw the body of a woman who had been shot.

The Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in piecing together the last 24 hours of Linderman’s life.

“Autopsy results indicate a number of hours had passed between the fatal shot being fired and the 911 calls, and arrest of Rix, so any assistance we can get from the public could prove to be vital,” sheriff’s officials said in a news release.

The car the two were using was a black 1999 Mercury Cougar with Minnesota plate number SHJ458.

In addition to being held in connection with the death, Rix is being held on two felony warrants issued in Wabasha County for an alleged drug crime and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

Rix has prior convictions for possessing and selling small amounts of marijuana in Olmsted and Dodge counties in 2010 and 2011.
