Asile A. Olden was a 15-year-old Black male from Milwaukee who died after a gun went off during what authorities described as an accidental shooting on Friday, April 24, 2026. The shooting happened about 6:40 p.m. in the 400 block of West Chambers Street in the Harambee neighborhood. Olden was taken to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa; his condition worsened and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified him as the victim.

Investigators say Olden had been with his younger sibling and friends when a loaded firearm discharged while the youths were handling it. Police initially searched for unknown suspects, but by April 27 two 14-year-old boys had been taken into custody; their names were not released because they are juveniles. Prosecutors described the incident as accidental and charged both teenagers with possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under the age of 18, a misdemeanor.

Did anyone in the Harambee neighborhood see or hear anything the evening of April 24 that could clarify what happened?
