On the afternoon of June 6, 2025, Kevronte Frank Thomas Johnson, a 23-year-old Black/African American man, was shot and killed on West Hampton Avenue in Milwaukee. Police were called shortly after 4:15 p.m. to North 69th Street and West Hampton Avenue, where officers found two people who had been shot. Johnson died at the scene; a second victim, 22, was taken to hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner later publicly identified Johnson as the person killed.

Johnson’s shooting occurred during a violent stretch on Hampton Avenue: about six minutes earlier, a separate shooting near North 46th Street and West Hampton Avenue left another person dead and three others wounded. Police have said the two incidents are separate and not believed to be connected. Investigators did not disclose what precipitated the shooting that killed Johnson, how many shooters were involved, or whether an argument preceded the gunfire, and no named suspect, arrest, charge, trial, or conviction in his death has been reported.

Anyone who was on West Hampton Avenue around 4:15 p.m. on June 6, 2025, or who has information about the shooting near 69th and Hampton is asked to contact investigators.
