Fitchburg police said Perry Lucas was eating at his apartment after he allegedly shot Detarius Martin to death last week, because, he told them, he wasn’t going to get a meal for a while.

"I’m going to jail for a long time," he said, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in Dane County Circuit Court.

The complaint charged Lucas, 28, with first-degree intentional homicide for Martin’s death, along with first-degree reckless endangerment for wounding Martin’s brother, Chukarius, in the June 16 shooting at 3309 Leopold Way.

According to the complaint, a woman who was in Lucas’ apartment told police the shooting happened after she was attacked by Detarius Martin’s girlfriend, Sharmarisa Hammonds, who was with Lucas’ girlfriend, Danyelle Dalbec.

Dalbec lived at the apartment with Lucas. She told the State Journal last week that she and Lucas were still a couple, but police said Lucas told them the couple recently had broken up.

Lucas was jailed on $250,000 bail after appearing in court. He will return to court on July 6.

According to the complaint:

The woman in the apartment, Kiersten Muhlenbeck, 23, told police that she and Lucas were on a first date. They were at his apartment about 11:30 p.m. when Dalbec, 38, came in with Hammonds, 21. Dalbec called Lucas a "jerk" and they left, Muhlenbeck said.

About 20 minutes later, Dalbec and Hammonds returned with the Martin brothers. Muhlenbeck said Hammonds began pulling her hair and punching her on the back of the head and telling her to "get out."

Muhlenbeck left the apartment, she told police, after Lucas brandished a gun and told everybody to let her leave.

Muhlenbeck said she heard five gunshots when she reached the building’s front door. She saw Hammonds and the Martins run up a stairway and out the door. Detarius Martin was on the ground when Muhlenbeck got outside.

Chukarius Martin, 27, told police he was at his brother’s apartment when Dalbec came in crying because her boyfriend was cheating on her.

The Martins went with Dalbec to Lucas’ apartment and waited in the hall, he said. Lucas came out, pointed the gun in the air and fired. Martin said he and his brother were shot as they ran away.

Two shots struck Detarius Martin, 23, and exited through his chest, including one that struck his heart, according to an autopsy report. Chukarius Martin had an arm wound.

Funeral services for Detarius Martin will be held at noon today at the Cress Funeral Home at 3610 Speedway Road in Madison.

Lucas’ attorney, Dennis Ryan, said Monday that Lucas was posted for a year in Iraq and that post-traumatic stress disorder might help explain what happened on June 16.

"I certainly intend to follow up on that with folks at the (Veterans Administration)," Ryan said. "I know he’s had some contacts with people over here at the hospital. He was in Baghdad for a year. Was it a factor? How could it not be?"

He said it was very possible that Lucas was reacting to a perceived threat "in a way that he saw was necessary."
