In the quiet, early hours of Thanksgiving Day 2020, the life of a young man was tragically cut short on a street in Milwaukee's south side. Evian Elizondo, a 17-year-old Hispanic male, was fatally shot just after midnight on November 26th. The incident occurred in the 2500 block of South 15th Place, where the teenager died at the scene. His 18-year-old girlfriend was present and witnessed the fatal shooting.
Known to some as an aspiring rapper who went by the name Mke EZ, Elizondo's
sudden death prompted a homicide investigation by the Milwaukee Police Department. In the days that followed the shooting, law enforcement officials stated that they were actively searching for unknown suspects. Details about what may have led to the deadly encounter were not immediately released to the public.
The investigation into the death of Evian Elizondo continued as his family and friends mourned their loss. A public memorial was planned for the Sunday following the tragedy at the corner of South 15th Place and West Harrison Street, the neighborhood where his life was taken. Despite the ongoing police investigation, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made in the case, and the suspects remained at large.
