U.S. marshals are searching for Tarone Harrell, a Milwaukee man accused of ambushing and beating a woman in a garage while on parole in another domestic abuse case.

Investigators say a Milwaukee man hid in a garage and ambushed a woman. She was left with serious injuries, and the suspect went on the run.

What we know:

Tarone Harrell’s latest trouble began last July. Investigators say he hid from a woman, lurking in the garage on the city’s far northwest side.

"Dangerous, especially towards women," the U.S. Marshal on the case explained. "She comes home from work. He’s sitting there waiting."

"He closed the garage door. Struck her with a closed fist," the marshal said.  "Knocked her out, and he just repeatedly beat her."

Police were called to the home and Harrell disappeared.

"Someone like him, we need off the streets, bad," the investigator said.

The Milwaukee man was charged with multiple felony counts of domestic violence. The incident happened while he was on parole for another domestic abuse case.

The fugitive sometimes uses the nicknames "Ron" and "Melvin Singleton." He is believed to still be in Milwaukee getting help from loved ones.
