According to the Madison Police Department, a person of interest was arrested in connection to the shooting on the north side of Madison Thursday evening.

Reports say that the person was arrested around 6:15 p.m. in the 3100 block of Ridgeway Avenue at the Ridgeview Heights Apartments.

Jesse Bodie, age 29 of Madison, was arrested and tentatively charged for attempted first degree intentional homicide.

According to the Madison Police Department, VCU detectives tracked Bodie to an apartment on Ridgeway Avenue where he was taken into custody.

On Wednesday evening, officers were called to the Ridgecrest Apartments on the 500 block of Northport Drive where a man in his 30’s was shot multiple times.

He was shot in the parking lot and taken to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.

Authorities said he was found on the ground near a driveway and responding officers provided lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived.

"When I got the call I was like man.. I hope it's not my family," Frenchie Anglin said.

Anglin lives in the apartment complex where the attempted homicide happened. He says there is too much gun violence in Madison and it is time to do something about it.

"Because there is little kids here around the people holding guns... and when they see that-- that will be the life they will chose. So we gotta figure out a way to prevent the violence," Anglin said.

Detectives from the Violent Crime Unit believe the victim knew the shooter and that he was the intended target of the gunman.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Madison Area Crime Stoppers at (608) 266-6014.
