Benjamin Ortiz Adorno, 41, a Hispanic/Latino man, was killed in Milwaukee in early October 2022. Memorial records list him as “lost to gun violence” on October 5, 2022, placing the incident in the city’s south side, while funeral home and obituary notices record his passing on October 7, 2022.
The violence that took his life is cataloged in the Gun Violence Archive as occurring on October 5 at 2409 West Rogers Street, a residential block where neighbors would have been waking to
sirens and police tape as detectives marked shell casings and canvassed for witnesses. The entry identifies him by name, confirms his age, and classifies him as a male victim who was killed. Separate memorial listings created afterward echo his identity and the Milwaukee location, offering scant solace beyond candles, brief tributes, and a date.
In the months and years since, public reporting has not documented an arrest, named suspect, or charges tied to his death. Neither the incident summary nor the memorial page provides investigative leads, and no subsequent local news coverage clearly connects a suspect to the case. The public medical-examiner portal offers only general guidance and suppresses specifics in homicide records, further underscoring the absence of confirmed, publicly available suspect information.
