Murder suspect dies after fatally shooting wife, then himself
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The 49-year-old woman shot and killed in a domestic dispute Wednesday has been identified as Ladda Donsanouphith. Her son said the 62-year-old suspected killer was her ex-boyfriend. She's the latest victim of domestic abuse in Milwaukee's rising numbers.

According to MPD, this week alone they've reported over 30 incidents of domestic abuse, two of which were homicides. They said this year they've reported over 1,400 cases of domestic abuse. City leaders are urging folks to use the resources the city offers.

"We're working as best as we can with our partners. We're engaging, we're putting out information to those who need the resources, but we recognize there's always more that can be done," said Chief Norman of MPD.
