Prarie D. Kelly, a 32-year-old Black man known as Woodz, was shot and killed on Wednesday, April 27, 2016, on Milwaukee’s northwest side. At about 6:30 p.m. he was sitting inside a vehicle near North 68th Street and West Florist Avenue when an unidentified man approached, an argument broke out, and the man produced a handgun and shot Kelly before fleeing on foot. Kelly was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries; his death was recorded as Milwaukee’s 36th homicide of 2016.

Reports do not say whether Kelly knew the shooter or what prompted the confrontation. No verified information is available about the firearm, physical evidence recovered, or witness cooperation, and authorities had not released a suspect name or detailed description beyond identifying the shooter as a man. An online memorial describes Kelly as humble, kindhearted, loving, a caregiver for his aunt Tracy, and an alumnus of La Follette and North Division schools.

Who has information about the shooting near 68th and Florist that could help identify the gunman?
