Lewis Terry, a 25-year-old Black male, was shot and killed in Milwaukee on May 15, 2020. Online tributes memorialize his death as part of the city’s gun violence toll that spring, placing the killing in Milwaukee and identifying him by name and age. A memorial page created soon after his death lists the date as May 15 and invites candles and remembrances, underscoring that his life ended by gunfire.
A separate burial record confirms his identity, age, and interment in Milwaukee following a mid-May 2020 death.
Publicly available local databases and news archives provide no detailed narrative of the shooting itself, and there are no credible reports of a suspect being identified or arrested in connection with Terry’s killing. In the years since, coverage of Milwaukee’s homicide investigations notes that many 2020 cases remain uncleared, a context that aligns with the absence of any arrest announcement tied to Terry’s case.
