Donald McGraw II, 49, was one of two men killed in an early-morning double shooting on July 22, 2025, near North 41st Street and West Glendale Avenue in Milwaukee’s Old North Milwaukee neighborhood. The gunfire began at about 2:30 a.m. McGraw was found on the porch steps of a residence; his friend Julius Arberry, 50, was found on the sidewalk in front of the same home. Neighbors said the pair were known as quiet, cordial men and that they had been sitting outside in the yard before the shots.

Police treated the deaths as a double homicide and searched for whoever was responsible, but early reports offered no description of a suspect and no established motive. Investigators did not say whether McGraw and Arberry had been specifically targeted or what immediately preceded the shooting. The killings alarmed residents because the same area had seen another fatal shooting on May 31, 2025. Anyone with information about these deaths is asked to contact Milwaukee police.
