Twenty-eight-year-old Aaron Harvath of Wisconsin Rapids is expected to make his first appearance in court Friday (11/4/05).

Police believe Harvath shot 23-year-old Dirk Wolf of Stevens Point in the head Wednesday afternoon.

It happened in broad daylight outside of Skipp's Bowling Center on the corner of Park and Division Streets.

Wolf was pronounced dead at Saint Michael's Hospital, and police nabbed Harvath a short time later, just a few blocks away.

In a news conference Thursday afternoon, police say Wolf and the suspect were business partners in a website, and were planning on starting a security company, but they still don't have a motive.

"Because of the nature of this investigation, and the relationship between these folks, there are numerous witnesses, numerous people of interest we are talking to," says Police Chief Jeff Morris.

Harvath is in the Portage County Jail Thursday night. He's due in court for a bond hearing Friday afternoon. District Attorney Tom Eagon says he'll likely recommend some type of murder charge in the case.
