Warren Wheeler, a 37-year-old Black/African American male, had a night out with his close friend, Alston Johnson, that ended in tragedy on October 23, 2021. The two were enjoying their time together, visiting a casino and a club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their night, however, took a dark and mysterious turn in the early morning hours, leaving their families searching for answers that remain elusive.
The following morning, the devastating news of their deaths began to unfold.
Johnson, 39, was discovered fatally shot around 4:00 a.m. near 15th and Fiebrantz. Just a few hours later, around 8:30 a.m., Wheeler was also found deceased from gunshot wounds a few blocks away near 12th and Fiebrantz. The proximity in time and location of their deaths has led to a perplexing investigation, with little clarity on how the two friends became separated and were ultimately killed.
In the wake of this double homicide, the Milwaukee Police Department launched an investigation, but as of now, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The families of both Wheeler and Johnson have been left to grapple with the immense loss and the haunting uncertainty surrounding their deaths. In a desperate plea for information and justice, the families have offered a significant monetary reward for any details that could lead to an arrest. They have actively canvassed the neighborhood where the two were found, distributing flyers and hoping to piece together the final moments of their loved ones' lives.
