Will Hogans, 50, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of June 13, 2026, near North 24th Street and West Wells Street in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner identified him more fully as William Lamar Hogans. Officers found him suffering from a gunshot wound at about 12:40 a.m.; he died at the scene before he could be transported for treatment.

Police released few details about what led to the shooting and did not describe a confrontation, robbery, argument, motive, or a suspected shooter. No arrests or charges had been announced, and reports did not establish whether Hogans knew the person who killed him. Family and friends gathered near the intersection afterward, lighting candles and remembering him as sociable and kindhearted; those close to him said he left behind three children and a young granddaughter.
