Killing Others Makes You Less of a Man

 JANESVILLE, Wis. — A former University of Wisconsin football player was convicted of two counts of first-degree homicide and other charges Tuesday in the February 2020 shooting deaths of two women. Jurors deliberated about two hours before finding Marcus Randle El guilty in the slayings of 27-year-old Brittany McAdory and 30-year-old Seairaha Winchester.  Randle El, from Homewood, attended Thornton Township High School in Harvey before going to Wisconsin, where he was a wide receiver for the Badgers from 2004 to 2007.

Randle El played wide receiver for the Wisconsin Badgers from 2004 to 2007. In 2005, he was charged with battery involving a woman on campus and was arrested for battery again later that year after punching a teammate, the TV station reported. He was sentenced to 18 months of probation and ordered to complete anger management.

Illinois Department of Corrections records show Randle El was released from jail on parole in October 2018 after serving time for an incident in 2014 in which he abducted his daughter at gunpoint, WMTV reported.
