Christopher Aguilar, a 27-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was fatally shot on the south side of Milwaukee in the early morning of April 13, 2026. Police were called about 5:30 a.m. to South 7th Street and West Mitchell Street, where Aguilar was found on a sidewalk in the 700 block of West Mitchell Street with multiple gunshot wounds. His death was investigated as a homicide.

Investigators quickly developed a lead linking a vehicle to the killing. That same afternoon the vehicle was tied to a separate shots-fired incident on the north side. Officers tried to stop the car at about 4:47 p.m.; the driver fled, crashed on South 35th Street near West National Avenue, then fired at officers and was shot in the resulting exchange. The driver, identified as Nicholas Maslowski, was taken to a hospital and died from his injuries. Police recovered the suspect’s firearms and said no officers or bystanders were struck; another person from the crash was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities did not disclose a clear motive or describe any relationship between Aguilar and Maslowski. No trial, conviction, or additional arrest in connection with Aguilar’s death has been reported. Did anyone in the area see Aguilar or the vehicle around 5:30 a.m. that morning?
