Austin L. Hanson, 27, was shot and killed on the night of Tuesday, November 25, 2025, on Milwaukee’s west side. Officers were called just after 10:20 p.m. to North 52nd Street and West Lloyd Street, where Hanson was found suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office later publicly identified him and confirmed he was the victim in that shooting.

The killing came on a night that saw multiple deadly shootings in neighborhoods around Washington Park. Earlier that evening a separate homicide claimed the life of 49-year-old Major C. Milan near North 35th Street and West Galena Street, but police say they have not established a connection between the two cases and are treating them as separate investigations. Details about what led up to Hanson’s shooting have not been released, and no arrests have been announced; the suspect or suspects remain unknown. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the Milwaukee Police Department or submit anonymous tips.

If anyone knew Hanson or witnessed activity near North 52nd and West Lloyd on November 25, can you share what you saw with investigators?
