Katherine Tolbert, a 37-year-old African-American/Black woman, was found dead in Milwaukee on March 24, 2007. Records list the location of the incident as 9001 N 75th St on the city’s far northwest side, and classify the case as a homicide. Publicly available materials do not describe the manner of death, the weapon used, or the circumstances that brought first responders to the scene that day.
Police listings from that period indicate the Milwaukee Police Department as the lead agency, and the case remains recorded as unsolved. No suspect has been named in public databases, and there are no documented arrests tied to her killing in the sources that catalog Milwaukee cold cases from 2007. Years later, the entry for her case still shows “suspect unknown,” underscoring how little official detail has been released beyond her identity, the date, and where the homicide occurred.
