Jamel Jenkins, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot and later died at a hospital after being wounded while sitting inside a vehicle near North 57th Street and West Center Street in Milwaukee on the afternoon of February 24, 2017. Police say he was alive when emergency personnel transported him from the scene, but he succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Reports from the time give few details about what happened just before the shooting; they do not describe an argument, robbery, or any obvious motive, and they do not say how many shots were fired or whether more than one person was involved.

The Milwaukee Police Department opened a homicide investigation and Jenkins’s death later appears in online cold-case listings classified as a murder.
