Starcey L. Chat, aged 36, tragically lost his life on April 23, 2021, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The circumstances surrounding his death were part of a violent day in the city, where multiple homicides occurred. Chatman was found deceased in a car along the 2600 block of North 24th Place. According to reports, he was shot by Mharquelle Q. Dixon, a 19-year-old relative.
On the day of the incident, Dixon and Chatman were in a car together. Dixon later told police that he believed his family was plotting to kill him, which caused him significant distress. While they were in the car, Dixon claimed that Chatman reached for something under his seat, prompting Dixon to pull out a gun and shoot him. Dixon then fled the scene, leaving Chatman in the car, where his body remained unnoticed until a passerby alerted the police later that evening.
Dixon was also involved in another shooting on the same day, less than half a mile away, where he killed Keandre Scott, 20, and injured a 21-year-old woman. Dixon was charged with two counts of first-degree reckless homicide and other related charges. He was later convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison, followed by 25 years of extended supervision.
The case highlighted the ongoing issue of gun violence in Milwaukee and prompted local authorities to call for community action to address the root causes of such violence. The tragic events of April 23, 2021, left a lasting impact on the community and underscored the need for comprehensive measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
