Victor Banks, 38, male, Black, was shot late on July 2, 2023, after gunfire erupted near the 1900 block of North 6th Street in Milwaukee; he was found a block south on the 600 block of West Vine Street and died from his injuries.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified him as the victim, and local coverage confirmed the time and place of the shooting as just before midnight on July 2.
Police described the circumstances as still under investigation in the hours and days that followed and said they were seeking unknown suspect or suspects, asking anyone with information to contact detectives or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. No arrests were announced in those initial reports.
Public memorial notices later recorded his full name and date of death and listed funeral arrangements in Milwaukee, reflecting the family's efforts to honor him after the investigation began.
