Shamarla Asir Hare, a 39-year-old Black woman, was shot in Milwaukee on the night of August 8, 2026. Police say she was at a residence in the 3400 block of North 39th Street near West Townsend Street when gunfire erupted shortly after 10 p.m. She suffered a gunshot wound to the head, was taken into surgery but did not survive.

Investigators say Hare’s killing was linked to an earlier shooting that night at the Knitting Factory Lofts near 21st and Pierce, where Vanessa DeHerrera and Scott Bucholz were killed. Prosecutors later identified Thomas Seville Zollicoffer as the suspect in the series of shootings; the complaint and court testimony allege he left the first scene, went to the north side and entered the home where Hare was shot. Witnesses, ballistic evidence and an alleged admission to police are cited in the charging documents.

Zollicoffer was arrested after a manhunt and charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and related firearm offenses. Two additional people have been charged with allegedly aiding him after the shootings. Does anyone have information about Hare, her whereabouts that night, or the people in the 3400 block of North 39th Street?
