Keep the family and friends of James W. Meden in your prayers tonight.

Meden is the 57-year-old man who South Milwaukee police say was murdered at the Badger Place Apartments Wednesday morning.

From the Journal Sentinel story …

Meden’s body was found by his daughter in the apartment in the 200 block of N. Chicago Ave. and his death is being investigated as a homicide, police said. A statewide alert was issued for the Meden’s car. The vehicle is described as a gold, 2003 four-door Honda Accord with dual silver exhaust pipes and with a license plate number of 805 FVS.

Police did not find evidence of forced entry into Meden’s apartment and that investigators do not believe anyone else is in danger.

WISN has a more comprehensive story here. And here is video from WTMJ.

Police are not saying how Meden was killed. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Meden’s car is asked to call South Milwaukee police at 414-768-8060.
