Dantae Hargraves, a 44-year-old Black man, was fatally shot the night of December 30, 2024, near North 27th Street and West Capitol Drive in Milwaukee. Police responded to a 9 p.m. 911 call from someone who knew Hargraves; emergency personnel attempted life-saving measures but he died at the scene. Investigators found a fired 9mm cartridge casing outside a nearby residence and a bullet fragment near a balcony fence and concrete ledge.

Surveillance footage from Milwaukee County Transit System buses showed Hargraves traveling northbound with another individual shortly before the shooting. Video shows both getting off near 27th and Capitol, with Hargraves walking ahead and a masked person in lighter upper clothing and darker lower clothing following him. That person was seen making motions investigators said were consistent with putting on a glove and preparing to retrieve something from a pocket or waistband.

Police focused their investigation on Eddie Ivy of Milwaukee. Authorities say items recovered during Ivy’s January 2, 2025, arrest linked him to the Walmart and transit footage, and prosecutors alleged a prior shooting involving Ivy and Hargraves provided a motive. The case went to trial and a jury reached a verdict in May 2026. Does anyone have information about Hargraves’ movements that night or the people he rode buses with?
