Anthony McDade, a 33-year-old Black man, was killed in Milwaukee on March 19, 2017. Public cold-case records identify his death as a murder investigated by the Milwaukee Police Department, but provide few details about the circumstances that led to his death.

Unlike some Milwaukee homicides from the same period that generated extensive news coverage, McDade’s killing left only a limited public trail. Records do not confirm where the fatal incident occurred, what type of weapon was used, what investigators believed the motive may have been, or what events immediately preceded the killing.

The case continues to appear in online cold-case listings and remains associated with the Milwaukee Police Department with no publicly documented resolution identifying who was responsible for killing him. If anyone knew Anthony McDade or has information about what happened on March 19, 2017, contact the Milwaukee Police Department.
