Patrick Deshawn Piggee Jr., a 28-year-old Black/African American man from Milwaukee, was fatally shot on the evening of August 3, 2025. Milwaukee police said the shooting occurred at approximately 8:55 p.m. in the area of North Teutonia Avenue and West Green Tree Road on Milwaukee’s north side. The violence unfolded on a Sunday night, leaving Piggee critically wounded from gunfire.
Piggee was transported to an area hospital for emergency treatment.
Despite efforts to save him, he died from his gunshot injuries at the hospital. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the victim as Patrick Piggee Jr. His obituary listed his full name as Patrick Deshawn Piggee Jr. and confirmed that he died on August 3 at 28 years old.
Investigators did not immediately disclose what happened in the moments leading to the shooting, whether Piggee had been specifically targeted, or whether an argument, confrontation, robbery, or another circumstance preceded the gunfire. Police described the circumstances as under investigation and began searching for the person or people responsible. Initial reports referred to the suspects as unknown, and authorities did not publicly release descriptions or names of suspected shooters.
Publicly available reporting located for the case does not indicate that Milwaukee police subsequently announced an arrest, identified a suspect, or referred criminal charges against anyone in connection with Piggee’s killing. There are likewise no publicly reported trials or convictions tied to his death in the sources located. The case therefore appears to remain an open homicide investigation unless authorities have developed information that has not been publicly released. Police have continued to ask anyone with information about the shooting to contact the Milwaukee Police Department, with anonymous information also accepted through Milwaukee Crime Stoppers or the P3 Tips system.
