Scott Bucholz, a 29-year-old White man, was killed on August 8, 2026, in a double shooting inside an apartment near 21st and Pierce streets on Milwaukee’s south side. He was with friend Vanessa DeHerrera that evening when a long-running confrontation involving DeHerrera’s former live-in boyfriend, Thomas Seville Zollicoffer, escalated into gunfire. Relatives say Bucholz tried to intervene; investigators say he and DeHerrera were found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead after police were called at about 9:44 p.m. Six spent 9 mm casings were recovered at the scene.

Authorities allege Zollicoffer shot both victims and later fled; prosecutors say ballistic testing linked casings at the Pierce Street apartment to a 9 mm pistol recovered when Zollicoffer was arrested after a standoff on August 11. He was charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and other felonies related to these killings, which prosecutors say also include the subsequent fatal shooting of Shamarla Asir Hare less than half an hour after the Pierce Street attack. Witnesses and alleged admissions are cited by prosecutors as part of the evidence.

Does anyone have information about Bucholz’s activities that night or about witnesses who were at the apartment on Pierce Street?
