Dorian Corneilius Deontae Crawford was 25 when he was fatally shot on the morning of August 9, 2016, on Milwaukee’s north side. The shooting happened at about 7:45 a.m. near North 50th Street and West Clarke Street. Rather than being taken by ambulance, Crawford was transported by a family member to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police ruled the death a homicide and opened an investigation.

Initial reports gave few specifics: investigators did not publicly state a motive, how many shots were fired, whether witnesses described a suspect, or whether physical evidence pointed to anyone. Police said no suspects were in custody. A memorial service was held on August 19, 2016, at All People’s Lutheran Church; interment was private. The case remains listed among Milwaukee’s 2016 homicides with no publicly verified resolution.

If anyone remembers seeing activity near North 50th and West Clarke on the morning of August 9, 2016, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
