Giovanni McVicker, a 33-year-old Black man, was killed on the night of March 9, 2026, during a mass shooting outside an apartment building on Milwaukee’s north side. McVicker and his girlfriend, Maya Tolbert, were found outside near the street after nearby officers heard an estimated 20 to 30 gunshots shortly before 10:30 p.m. Both died at the scene; Tolbert’s unborn child also died. An autopsy listed 31 gunshot wounds and additional graze wounds for McVicker and eight gunshot wounds for Tolbert.

Prosecutors say the violence began after a neighbor dispute over loud music. The complaint identifies Tyrese Allen as the person who approached during a physical fight and, according to surveillance footage and investigators, raised his arm and began firing while McVicker and Allen were face-to-face. Surveillance footage and investigators did not show McVicker firing. Allen was arrested, admitted involvement, and was charged in Milwaukee County with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child, with dangerous-weapon enhancements.

Family described McVicker as a devoted father who loved dancing and planned a future for his family; memorials appeared near the complex after the killings. Does anyone who lived near North Darien Street that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
