On the evening of Sunday, April 17, 2016, 46-year-old Terry Giesler was fatally shot on Milwaukee’s north side near North 36th Street and West Stark Street. Police arrived about 9:15 p.m. and found two people shot; Giesler died at the scene despite emergency responders’ efforts. A 45-year-old Milwaukee woman also sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Initial reports gave few details about what led to the shooting. Investigators did not publicly describe any relationship between Giesler and the injured woman, indicate whether the victims were targeted, or identify a suspect. The case remained an active Milwaukee Police homicide investigation the following morning, and Giesler’s death was later listed in the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission’s 2016 annual report.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Terry Giesler or witness the shooting that night who could help fill in what happened?
