Thomas E. Jones, a 38-year-old Black man, was killed in an early-morning shooting on May 28, 2026, in Milwaukee’s Old North Milwaukee neighborhood. The shooting happened about 3:00 a.m. in the 4400 block of North 38th Street near West Congress Street. Milwaukee police found Jones with fatal gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene; two other men, reported as 40 and 36 years old, were also wounded.

Investigators initially had little public information, but within days prosecutors filed criminal charges against Deangelo Dunbar, identified as 36. According to the criminal complaint, the confrontation began inside a residence after Dunbar allegedly entered and confronted a woman who said she was Jones’s sister. A physical altercation and multiple gunshots followed; Jones was fatally wounded and Dunbar was also shot. Dunbar told police he fired the weapon and later described his actions as self-defense, saying he believed it was either him or Jones who would be shot.

Prosecutors charged Dunbar with first-degree reckless injury while using a dangerous weapon; publicly reported charging documents do not show a homicide charge in connection with Jones’s death. Did anyone in the Old North Milwaukee area witness what happened that morning or know Jones’ movements that night?
