Kelmer Colindres-Barrantes, identified in some reports as Josue Colindres-Barrantes, was a 31-year-old Hispanic man whose body was found on the morning of January 27, 2016, inside a stolen black Dodge Caravan parked near South 24th Street and West Lapham Boulevard on Milwaukee’s south side. The vehicle had been reported stolen; authorities did not publicly say whether the theft was connected to his death.

Initial responding officers classified the scene as a sudden death, reporting no obvious signs of foul play, but by January 28 investigators had reclassified the case as a homicide. It is also unclear how long Colindres-Barrantes had been in the van, who last saw him alive, or whether the discovery location was the site of the fatal incident.

If anyone knew Kelmer or has information about the stolen Caravan or his last movements, please come forward.
