Dequon Garrett, 23, was shot and killed around 10:30 p.m. on January 14, 2025, near North 90th Street and West Hampton Avenue on Milwaukee’s north side. Responding officers found Garrett unresponsive with gunshot wounds to the head and abdomen; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Two handguns were recovered near his feet, and two spent casings were found nearby.

A roughly 31-second civilian cellphone video reportedly shows five people near a Chevrolet Impala and captures an argument in which Garrett pushes another man. Prosecutors say a different person then fired a point-blank shot that struck Garrett in the head, and after Garrett fell the shooter approached and fired again into his abdomen. Voices on the clip reportedly call the name Quay, and investigators say the shooter is visually distinct from the man Garrett had been arguing with.

Investigators say family members gave conflicting accounts. One man initially told police he was responsible but later said his brother, Quayvonne Johnson, fired the shots. Johnson was arrested the day after the killing and later charged with first-degree reckless homicide and possession of a firearm by a felon; a preliminary hearing was scheduled for January 29, 2025. The prosecution’s case is said to rely heavily on the video, witness statements, physical evidence, and Johnson’s eventual admission that he fired two shots.

If anyone was at the scene or has information about Garrett, the vehicle, or the recording, can you share what you know?
