As of the latest available information, no arrests had been made in connection with Singleton's murder. The Milwaukee Police Department continued to investigate the case, urging anyone with information to come forward. The lack of immediate suspects or arrests highlighted the challenges faced by law enforcement in solving such violent crimes.
