From Wauwatosa Patch:

Officer Sebena was found dead during her duty shift on Monday, Christmas Eve morning. After a last contact with her at 3:29 a.m., dispatchers attempted to reach her for a duty call for service and she did not respond.

At 4:38 a.m., a fellow officer searching for her found her body in the north parking lot of the Wauwatosa Fire Station No. 1, at 1601 Underwood Ave. She had been shot multiple times.

On Tuesday evening, Christmas Day, Sebena's husband, Benjamin Sebena, was taken into custody and held at the West Allis Police Department in the investigation of the homicide. No formal arrest or charges have been announced.
