City and university police urged Downtown residents and students to take safety precautions after a 21-year-old UW-Madison student was killed Wednesday in her West Doty Street apartment.
“There’s every indication there’s a killer among us,” said City Council President Mike Verveer, who lives half a block away from the green-shingled two-flat at 517 W. Doty St. where Brittany Sue Zimmermann was found dead Wednesday afternoon.
