In the early evening of Monday, July 16, 2012, tragedy struck on the north side of Milwaukee. Delinkko Kearney, a 33-year-old African-American male, was fatally shot in the 600 block of W. Ring St. The incident, which occurred around 5:30 p.m., marked another life lost to gun violence in the city.
Milwaukee police quickly responded to the scene and launched a homicide investigation. Initial reports indicated that authorities were actively seeking suspects in connection with the shooting. However, in the immediate aftermath, no individuals were taken into custody, and the police had not publicly identified any suspects.
Despite the ongoing investigation, details surrounding the circumstances that led to Kearney's death remained scarce. The initial reports from law enforcement did not provide information about a possible motive or any persons of interest. In the days and years that followed, public information regarding any arrests or the naming of any suspects in the murder of Delinkko Kearney has not been forthcoming, leaving his case unresolved.
