In the winter of 2017, the life of Kevin Windom, a 42-year-old Black / African American man, was tragically cut short on the streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On the afternoon of December 13th, in the vicinity of 24th and Center, a sudden act of violence ended his life. According to police reports from the time, Windom was approached by an individual who then shot him.
The assailant fled the scene, leaving Windom to be pronounced dead by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, which occurred shortly after 2 p.m., the Milwaukee Police Department launched a homicide investigation. Authorities worked to piece together the events that led to the fatal encounter and began the search for the person responsible. At the time, law enforcement stated they were actively seeking a suspect and trying to determine a motive for the shooting. The investigation was ongoing, with officials appealing to the public for any information that might lead to an arrest.
Despite the initial investigation and the search for a suspect, publicly available information and news reports in the years following the incident do not indicate that an arrest has been made in connection with the murder of Kevin Windom. The case remains a painful memory for his family and community. Details regarding a specific suspect or suspects being identified or apprehended have not been released in the available online sources. His death is noted in archives of gun violence victims, a somber reminder of a life taken too soon, with the quest for justice for him seemingly unresolved.
