A potentially "armed and dangerous" man is being sought in a homicide last week in Winona, Minn., and authorities are concerned that he may be with a woman and two small children.

Lonnie Lavonte Keymone Hudson, 23, who recently has lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin, is being sought as a "person of interest" in the shooting death on Oct. 18 of Adam Tylor Fort.

Police added that he "[may be] in the company" of Tyesha L. Williams, 23, of La Crosse, Wis., and her two children under age 3.

Hudson has not been identified by police as the father of either child, but Wisconsin court records show that he and Williams have been parties in the same paternity case, and a birth notice in a local newspaper listed Williams and Hudson as new parents in December 2012.

"Hudson should be considered armed and dangerous," police said in a statement. "Please do not approach."

Early Sunday afternoon, Fort, 31, was shot in the torso and killed in his apartment on the 1200 block of Gilmore Avenue by one of two intruders demanding money, according to police. The two fled in a car.

Hudson is described as black with a light complexion, 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 185 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. His criminal history in Minnesota and Wisconsin includes convictions for disorderly conduct, damage to property, fleeing police, resisting arrest, jumping bail and drunken driving.

Police are asking for anyone with information to call authorities at 1-507-457-6302.
