Vincent Torres, 45, was shot and killed on the night of June 4, 2025, on Milwaukee’s south side. Officers were called shortly after 9:30 p.m. to the 1600 block of South 11th Street; Torres was found on the sidewalk near his home with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at about 9:51 p.m. Family and neighbors told reporters the shooting followed a neighborhood dispute and that a person left the area and later returned in a vehicle before the gunfire.

Torres was originally from Dallas, Texas, and relatives described him as a devoted father and a joyful presence who often helped family and friends. The family released surveillance footage they believed showed the person involved and pleaded for witnesses in the days after the killing, while neighbors gathered near the scene to grieve ahead of Father’s Day.

If anyone has information about the confrontation on June 4 or saw activity near South 11th Street that night, please share what you know with investigators.
