(Mike Leischner, WSAU) The Marathon County Sheriff's office says the search for a weekend shooting suspect is going beyond Wisconsin's borders.

According to Mike Leischner with WSAU, officers say they have reason to believe that Desmond Mayo has left the state and should be considered armed and dangerous, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.

He's accused of shooting another man outside Wausau on Saturday, that man was able to get himself to a nearby hospital where he was treated for multiple gunshot wounds. Officers say he was able to identify Mayo as the shooter.

Court records show an attempted first-degree homicide case has been opened against him and an arrest warrant has been issued. Anyone with information on his location is asked to call the Marathon County Sheriff's Office.
