Christopher White, a 38-year-old Black man from Milwaukee, was shot and killed late on April 10, 2026, inside an apartment in the 1000 block of West Atkinson Avenue. Police found him sitting in his motorized wheelchair with a gunshot wound to the left side of his head; an autopsy later showed three gunshot wounds to his face, chest and head. A second man was wounded and transported to hospital.

Investigators say the surviving victim told them he, White and a man known as Marcus, who also used the nickname Checkmate, had been gambling with dice when an argument over the game escalated. The witness identified Marcus H. Berry from a photo as the shooter. Police reported surveillance and an apparent livestream, video of a man leaving the apartment holding what looked like a handgun, and recovery of a 9mm handgun and clothing at a residence where Berry was arrested on April 20. Prosecutors charged Berry with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree reckless injury and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

White’s family said he had survived a 2009 shooting that left him paralyzed and using a motorized wheelchair; relatives described him as devoted to his family and one of six siblings who would have turned 39 days after the killing. Did anyone in the Milwaukee community see or hear anything the night of April 10 that could help explain what happened inside that apartment?
