Antonio Tatum, 37, was shot and killed late on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, near North 2nd Street and West Wright Street on Milwaukee’s north side. Police say the shooting occurred at about 11:18 p.m.; Tatum suffered a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner later identified him publicly.

Investigators released few details about what led to the shooting. Police did not say whether Tatum was outside, in a vehicle, or at a nearby residence when he was hit, and they did not describe an argument, robbery, or other event before the gunfire. No suspect description, person of interest, motive, arrest, or charges were publicly announced.

Milwaukee police asked anyone with information to contact the department, or to use Crime Stoppers or the P3 Tips service to remain anonymous. Does anyone have information about Antonio’s last hours or who might have been near North 2nd and West Wright that night?
