On July 1, 2020, Cyrus Marcel Glave, a 34-year-old male, was killed in a shooting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The incident, which also resulted in the death of 33-year-old Edgar 'JoJo' Padilla, took place in the afternoon on the 1900 block of S. 19th Street. Milwaukee Police responded to a Shotspotter alert and discovered both men near a garage with fatal gunshot wounds.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting have been scarce in public reports.
An early report from a local news source on July 2, 2020, stated that a suspect had been taken into police custody in connection with the double homicide. However, more recent information from a crime victim's advocacy website indicates that the case remains unsolved. According to that source, the Milwaukee Police Department's investigation is ongoing, and as of the latest updates, no arrests have been made, with the suspect or suspects still at large. There have been no subsequent news reports detailing charges or legal proceedings against any individual in relation to the deaths of Glave and Padilla.
Cyrus Glave was remembered in his obituary as a loving father and a man with a good heart who was always willing to help others. He was described as funny, silly, and playful, and his death was lamented as an act of 'senseless gun violence.' The investigation into the double homicide is part of a broader effort by Milwaukee law enforcement to address a significant increase in homicides in the city during 2020. Authorities have urged the public to come forward with any information that might assist in solving the case.
