Demarre Lott, a 23-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of January 24, 2016, in Milwaukee. Officers found him at about 3:20 a.m. lying in the snow near the intersection of Beale Street and Fond du Lac Avenue on the city’s northwest side; he had at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead after Milwaukee Fire Department personnel rendered aid.

Police opened a homicide investigation but did not immediately establish whether Lott was targeted, involved in a confrontation, or how he came to be on that stretch of roadway. On January 25, 2016, authorities confirmed his identity and said detectives were still seeking suspects and a motive. Publicly accessible reporting following those initial accounts does not document any arrest, charge, trial, or conviction linked to his death.

Significant questions remain about Lott’s final movements and who was responsible. If anyone has information about that night or observed activity near Beale Street and Fond du Lac Avenue around 3:20 a.m. on January 24, 2016, please share what is known with investigators.
