ALT Quote from FBI Milwaukee SAC Alan Karr on a sentencing from Wednesday in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Karr: “Kevin McCaa’s heinous crime was deserving of the significant sentence he received for murdering Aundre Cross, an innocent victim who was doing his job as an employee of the U.S. Postal Service. While the sentencing cannot bring Mr. Cross back to his family and friends, hopefully it will be a step forward in the healing process. The joint efforts of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Milwaukee Police Department, and the FBI in this case exemplifies the importance of law enforcement collaboration. The FBI remains committed to working with our federal, state, and local partners to combat violent crime and seek justice for victims.”
