Norman Lee, a 55-year-old Black man from Milwaukee, was shot and killed on the night of July 31, 2017, at about 10:10 p.m. Police found him lying in the street at North 48th Street and West Congress Street; emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene after life-saving efforts failed. Investigators publicly reported no known motive, offered no description of a shooter, and did not say Lee was with anyone when he was attacked.

Lee’s death occurred amid several other shootings in Milwaukee that night, but police treated those incidents as separate and did not connect them to his killing. No reporting identifies anyone arrested or charged in his death, and cold-case listings continue to show the Milwaukee Police Department’s investigation as unresolved. If anyone knew Norman Lee, saw activity around 48th and Congress on July 31, 2017, or has information that could help, please come forward to investigators.
