The manager of an apartment building on Milwaukee's west side beat one of his tenants to death after becoming angry because the tenant locked himself out of his apartment, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.
According to the complaint, Jimmie Lamar Richardson, 52, is charged with felony murder in the death of Richard Bohannon.
Bohannon, 52, was found early Feb. 8 in the boiler room of the building at 3017 W. Highland Blvd.
An autopsy found that Bohannon died Feb. 15 from multiple blunt force injuries, including a fractured skull and fractured ribs.
A witness told police Bohannon was intoxicated the afternoon of Feb. 7 and had lost the keys to his apartment. When Richardson was called to the second floor of the building to assist him he went into a rage, throwing Bohannon against a wall and down a flight of stairs before kicking him down a second flight of stairs.
Richardson was in the Milwaukee County Jail Thursday. His bail was set at $50,000.
