In the late summer of 2010, the life of Larry D. Thompson, a 39-year-old African-American man, was tragically cut short on the streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On Sunday, September 5th, Thompson was fatally shot in the 4400 block of N. 28th Street. His death was one of many homicides that plagued the city that year, a grim statistic in a wave of violence.
Following the shooting, an obituary confirmed Thompson's passing, noting his age and the date he "found peace". However, the circumstances of his death were far from peaceful. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel later reported on the city's unsolved homicides of 2010, and Larry D. Thompson's name was on that somber list.
As of the end of 2010, no charges had been filed in connection with Thompson's murder, and his case remained one of dozens of unsolved killings in Milwaukee for that year. Information regarding any specific suspects or arrests in the years that followed has not been made publicly available. The investigation into who was responsible for the death of Larry D. Thompson remains without a public resolution, leaving a lingering question of who committed this violent act and why.
