Christian, a 23-year-old Black/African American man. On June 26th, in the Lincoln Creek neighborhood, Christian was discovered in the driver's seat of a car near the intersection of 48th Street and West Hampton Avenue.
A single bullet hole was visible on the driver's side door, a stark indicator of the tragic events that had unfolded.
The Milwaukee Police Department was called to the scene to begin an investigation into the homicide.
