Anthony Daniels was 29 when he was shot and killed in Milwaukee on September 7, 2017, after a drive with a friend ended in a sudden burst of gunfire on the city’s north side. Daniels pulled over near North 54th Street and West Burleigh Street (identified later as 3028 N. 54th Street) shortly before 7:00 p.m. As the friend began exiting the vehicle, someone approached and opened fire. Both men were struck; Daniels was mortally wounded and died at the scene, while the friend survived with three gunshot wounds and was hospitalized with serious injuries.

Daniels was a young father, engaged to be married and raising a son who had just started school. His mother, Tanja Dixon, learned of his death that evening after seeing news reports; detectives later confirmed the fatality to the family. Police did not publicly identify the surviving friend as a suspect and had not established a motive.

Does anyone have information about the shooting that could help identify who approached the vehicle and why Daniels and his friend were targeted?
