On a Sunday evening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the life of a 31-year-old Black / African American man, Carlton Evans, was tragically cut short. On November 27, 2016, at approximately 7:00 p.m., Evans was shot near the intersection of 41st Street and Lloyd Street. Despite sustaining very serious injuries, he managed to drive himself to a nearby hospital in a courageous attempt to save his own life.
Medical personnel attended to Evans at the initial hospital, but due to the severity of his
wounds, a decision was made to transfer him to another facility for more specialized treatment. Tragically, during this transfer, Carlton Evans succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. The circumstances leading up to the shooting remained unclear in the immediate aftermath, and the Milwaukee Police Department launched an investigation into the homicide.
In the days that followed, authorities continued to seek a motive for the shooting and to identify any potential suspect or suspects involved in Evans' death. However, information regarding any arrests or the identification of a suspect in this case has not been made publicly available in the years since the incident. The investigation into the death of Carlton Evans was ongoing, but details regarding any breakthroughs or conclusions have not been released. His death left friends and family to mourn their loss as the search for answers and justice continued.
