Tyler Huddleston was 18 when he was killed in a burst of automatic gunfire during a family gathering on the southwest side of Milwaukee in the early hours of May 2, 2026. He was inside a home in the 2500 block of S. 62nd Street for his cousin’s birthday when an argument reportedly over a smashed cellphone escalated. Huddleston was struck multiple times and pronounced dead in the kitchen.

Two men who had come to pick up a 14-year-old and later returned wearing ski masks are central to the investigation. Joseph Mangert and Daniel Martinez-Labra, both alleged to be involved in the disturbance, are accused of returning and opening fire; surveillance video captured the shots and showed a vehicle registered to Mangert at the scene. Martinez-Labra was arrested; an arrest warrant was issued for Mangert. Both were charged with first-degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, and party to a crime.

Does anyone have information about the events that night or about activity at that address?
