Matt Turner, a 20-year-old Black man who also used the name Donald Montrell, was killed in Milwaukee on June 30, 1991. According to charging documents, Turner met Jeffrey Dahmer in Chicago after a Gay Pride event; Dahmer offered money to pose for photos and watch videos, and Turner agreed to go with him to Dahmer’s apartment at 924 North 25th Street. The complaint says Turner was given a drugged drink, was strangled with a strap once incapacitated, then dismembered.

Investigators found photographs and human remains in the apartment after Tracy Edwards escaped and led police there on July 22, 1991. Identification recovered at the scene and fingerprints from severed hands matched Turner; his father was notified on July 25, 1991. Prosecutors later charged Dahmer in Turner’s killing; Dahmer entered guilty-but-insane pleas to fifteen Wisconsin murders in January 1992, and a jury found him legally sane.

Does anyone have information about Turner’s life in Chicago or the events that led to his trip to Milwaukee on June 30, 1991?
