Brandon J. Edwards, a 40-year-old White/Caucasian man from Milwaukee, was fatally shot on the afternoon of January 4, 2026. The shooting happened at about 2:00 p.m. near North 107th Street and West Wabash Avenue on the city’s northwest side, a few blocks from West Brown Deer Road. Edwards was found with gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital; the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his identity.

Investigators said the shooting followed an argument but did not disclose what the disagreement was about, who Edwards had been arguing with, or what caused the confrontation to turn deadly. Police described themselves as searching for a shooter or multiple possible shooters and had not identified or charged any suspect in Edwards’ killing. Authorities appealed to the public for information and asked anyone with tips to contact the Milwaukee Police Department, Milwaukee Crime Stoppers, or the P3 Tips system.

Edwards’ death occurred during a violent Sunday afternoon in the city; about an hour and forty minutes later a separate, unrelated fatal shooting killed Brian Johnson near 64th Street and Mill Road. Does anyone who was in the North 107th and Wabash Avenue area that afternoon have information that could help investigators?
