Marcus Smith, 64, was shot to death on the night of October 19, 2025, along North 27th Street near Atkinson Avenue on Milwaukee’s north side. Surveillance footage placed Smith in the area with Sandra Lee in the hours before the violence; the recording showed Smith outside a neighborhood store shortly after 7 p.m. and later among other people. Around 9:19 p.m. the footage captured a man later identified by prosecutors as Michael D. Williams standing near Smith. Smith’s hat fell to the sidewalk and he collapsed; he was bleeding from the head and pronounced dead at 9:46 p.m. An autopsy ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head, and eight spent 9mm casings were recovered at the scene. Lee was also killed that night.

Witnesses identified Williams from surveillance images and led police to an apartment building at 2901 West Atkinson Avenue where officers encountered and arrested him. Investigators reported finding a bleach-soaked black shirt and a bleach bottle bearing Williams’s fingerprint, and multicolored Puma shoes with what appeared to be blood in a storage locker.

Does anyone have information about Marcus Smith, his movements that evening, or witnesses who saw activity near North 27th and Atkinson on October 19, 2025?
