Juan Carlos Rodriguez, 47, was fatally shot on the night of June 24, 2025, on Milwaukee’s south side. Officers were called shortly after 10:00 p.m. to the 1200 block of South 11th Street near West Scott Street after reports of gunfire. Rodriguez suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including to his chest and abdomen, and was taken alive to a Milwaukee-area hospital but was pronounced dead at about 11:47 p.m.

Police opened a homicide investigation and said the circumstances were under investigation. Authorities did not disclose whether Rodriguez had been confronted beforehand, whether an argument or dispute preceded the shooting, or whether he was specifically targeted. Initial reports indicated no suspect had been identified or taken into custody; no description of a shooter, vehicle, or motive was released.

Rodriguez, also known as Carlos, was remembered by family as a devoted father to his sons Isaiah and Jacob, and as a loyal brother and uncle guided by his faith. Funeral services were held the following month, and he was laid to rest at Forest Home Cemetery. Does anyone who was in the South 11th and Scott area that night have information that could help investigators?
