Gregory Crump, a 48-year-old Black/African American man from Milwaukee, was fatally shot on May 31, 2025, during a double homicide on the city’s north side. The violence unfolded near North 2nd Street and West Auer Avenue at approximately 6:08 p.m. Milwaukee police responding to the scene found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. DeAndre Bolden was pronounced dead at the scene, while Crump was still alive when emergency responders reached him.
He was rushed to a hospital as paramedics attempted to save his life, but he died from his injuries.
In the immediate aftermath, police released little information about what had led to the shooting and initially described the people responsible as unknown suspects. The case remained without an arrest for months. By late July 2025, nearly two months after the killings, Milwaukee police still had not announced an arrest, and members of Bolden’s family publicly appealed for information and urged anyone who knew what happened to come forward.
As the investigation developed, authorities identified two men, Charley Grant and Andre Hudson, as suspects. Investigators later described the killings as stemming from a confrontation involving a large quantity of marijuana. According to police and prosecutors, Grant and Hudson believed Bolden had taken marijuana belonging to them and arranged to meet with a man under the appearance of conducting a marijuana transaction. Witness accounts cited by investigators said the suspects demanded the return of two duffel bags that they claimed belonged to them.
The confrontation reportedly began around the area of Hubbard Boulevard and Townsend Street. Investigators said the parties then traveled roughly half a mile to the area of 2nd and Auer. According to the later account released through the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, one of the victims went to retrieve a bag that had been hidden inside a residence. Investigators characterized what followed as an ambush. Prosecutors allege that Grant and Hudson opened fire, killing Bolden and Crump. Police recovered spent cartridge casings at the scene along with duffel bags containing material believed to be marijuana.
The investigation eventually resulted in murder charges being pursued against Grant and Hudson. Reporting in December 2025 said Milwaukee police were seeking both men in connection with multiple murder charges and described both as fugitives at that point. Authorities said their investigation had established that the confrontation over the missing marijuana led directly to the fatal shooting of Crump and Bolden.
The status of the suspects subsequently changed. By January 11, 2026, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force reported that Andre Hudson had been arrested, while Charley Grant remained wanted. Authorities described Grant as armed and dangerous and said he had been evading law enforcement for approximately seven months. Investigators believed he was still in the Milwaukee area and continued asking the public for information that could lead to his capture. Grant was described at the time as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 243 pounds.
The available online reporting does not establish that Grant had been captured, tried, or convicted in connection with the killings, nor does it document a completed trial or conviction for Hudson in the deaths of Crump and Bolden. The most developed publicly available account identifies Hudson as arrested and Grant as a fugitive, with prosecutors alleging that the two men were responsible for the shootings. Those allegations remain accusations unless and until proven in court. Crump’s death, which began as a case involving unidentified gunmen, ultimately became tied by investigators to an alleged dispute over marijuana and a confrontation that ended with two men losing their lives on a Milwaukee street.
