On a Sunday evening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the life of 24-year-old Bradley Garrett, an African-American male, was tragically cut short. On May 3, 2015, at approximately 8:30 p.m., Garrett was sitting in a vehicle near the intersection of 44th and Wright Street when he was fatally shot.
Milwaukee police quickly responded to the scene, and their initial investigation suggested that the shooting was not a random act of violence. Investigators believed that Garrett was targeted, though a specific motive was not immediately released to the public. In the days following the incident, law enforcement officials announced they were seeking two individuals who they believed might have more information about the circumstances leading to Garrett's death.
Despite the initial leads and the police assertion that the shooting was a targeted event, the investigation into Bradley Garrett's death has not led to any publicly announced arrests or the naming of any suspects in the years that have followed. The case, which brought sorrow to the Milwaukee community, remains without a resolution, and the individuals responsible for the death of the young man have not been brought to justice. The search for answers and accountability in the shooting of Bradley Garrett continues.
