Frank Carter, an African-American/Black man, 53, was killed in Milwaukee on November 10, 2012. Public-source accounts describe his death as the result of gunfire that day, a grim addition to a year in which most Milwaukee homicides involved firearms. Early coverage of the killing offered few details beyond the fatal shooting and the date; memorial listings published afterward remembered a 53-year-old Frank Carter who died in Milwaukee in 2012, but did not expand on the circumstances.
In the days surrounding his death, Milwaukee news reported multiple shootings; one predawn killing on November 10 at 71st and Mill Road was later identified as the death of a different victim and resulted in a separate arrest, a case not linked in public reporting to Carter. Across the full year, official summaries note that firearms were used in the vast majority of homicides, with many cases initially lacking identified suspects. Within the available record, no arrest specific to Carter’s shooting is documented, and open-source coverage does not name a suspect connected to his case.
