Darrius Rose, a 26-year-old Black man, was killed on the morning of October 29, 2017, in Milwaukee. At about 9:00 a.m. he was sitting inside a vehicle near West Silver Spring Drive and North Teutonia Avenue when gunfire came from another vehicle; Rose was pronounced dead at the scene. Early on, police said motive and suspects were unknown.

Investigators later connected the shooting to a broader six-week crime spree across Milwaukee and into Menomonee Falls involving more than 20 criminal acts, including shootings, stolen vehicles and confrontations between rival groups. Prosecutors say Caleb Virgil shot Rose in the North Bay Shopping Mall parking lot in a case of mistaken identity; physical evidence and the later recovery of a firearm at Virgil’s home were reported to link him to the killing. Virgil was arrested days after the shooting.

What is known about Rose’s last morning or anyone who saw the vehicle he was in?
