Reginald C. Brown, 36, was one of two people fatally shot inside a Milwaukee home during the early morning of December 8, 2016. Brown was sleeping in the upstairs bedroom of his girlfriend Roberta Newman’s house near North 107th Street and West Appleton Avenue when an unknown intruder entered and opened fire. Both Brown and Newman, who was 38 and had moved to Milwaukee from Chicago, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were found dead beneath the bedcovers; Newman’s two sons were in the house and were not physically injured.

Investigators recovered about 18 spent cartridge casings in and near the bedroom and concluded the attack was intentional, with at least one victim possibly specifically targeted. One of Newman’s sons, then 16, told police he heard shots, called 911, briefly saw a single dark figure running past his doorway, and heard footsteps leaving the home. Forensic testing linked the casings to shots fired in Chicago, and detectives later said they were investigating a dispute between Newman and the father of one of her children as a person of interest, while not ruling out Brown as the possible target.

Brown’s family has expressed ongoing grief and the community was shaken by the brutality of the slayings. Who in the neighborhood or Chicago connections might have information about Newman's moves or disputes before December 8, 2016?
