Dwayne Carter, 43, was killed in Milwaukee on the morning of October 18, 2025, after an all-night poker game at a house near West Appleton Avenue and West Ruby Avenue. Police were called just after 7:30 a.m.; Carter was found in the home’s basement. A second victim, 33-year-old Shaquille E. Madison, collapsed outside and later died at Froedtert Hospital.

According to a criminal complaint described by local reporting, players were cleaning up when a masked, heavy-set man carrying a rifle rushed in, pointed the weapon, made shooting sounds, and fled. In the ensuing chaos, 35-year-old Donovan C. Jones retreated to the basement, took cover under the stairs, and fired eight shots toward a figure he said he could not see clearly. Surveillance footage showed the masked intruder run inside and back out within seconds; moments later Madison staggered from the doorway and fell.

Jones was initially taken into custody at the scene; days later prosecutors charged him with two counts of first-degree reckless homicide, noting preliminary ballistics matched casings to his firearm and that he had told officers he thought he had shot his friend. Investigators say they are still looking for the masked intruder seen on video. Does anyone have information about who entered that house that morning or the masked man on the surveillance footage?
