Roberta Newman, 38, and her boyfriend Reginald Reggie Brown, 36, were shot to death inside Newman’s Milwaukee home in the early morning of December 8, 2016. The attack happened near West Appleton Avenue and West Florist Avenue; both victims were found in bed beneath the covers with multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. Newman’s two sons, ages 11 and 16, were in the house and survived physically unharmed after the older child called 911.

Investigators recovered 18 spent cartridge casings of the same caliber scattered through the upstairs bedroom area. The teenage son reported seeing a single dark figure run past his doorway and then heard footsteps leaving the house, indicating at least one intruder had been inside. Forensic testing later linked casings from the Milwaukee scene to a separate shots-fired incident in Chicago, a city where Newman had previously lived, prompting investigators to consider a possible connection to her past.

Detectives examined personal relationships as potential motives and identified the father of one of Newman’s children as a person of interest, though no public evidence has tied him to the crime. As of the latest public update, no suspect has been publicly established and the motive remains unconfirmed. If anyone knew Roberta, Reggie, or had information about disputes in their lives or the Chicago connection, can you help investigators by coming forward?
