On Sunday, July 26, 2015, a shooting at the American Inn Motel, 6789 W. Appleton Avenue in Milwaukee, left 25-year-old Markqwan D. Jenious critically wounded. The incident occurred about 2:00 p.m.; nearby residents reported hearing seven or eight shots. A 23-year-old man was also shot and treated for injuries not considered life-threatening. Both victims were taken to the hospital.

Jenious remained hospitalized for two days and died at Froedtert Hospital on Tuesday, July 28, 2015, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed. Police opened an investigation but initial reports did not establish a motive, what brought the victims to the motel, whether they knew one another, or whether either had been specifically targeted. No verified public reports identifying a suspect, charges, or a legal resolution could be found.

Family remembrances in the obituary described him as a beloved son, grandson, brother, cousin, and father, with funeral services arranged at Bethel Baptist Church in Milwaukee. Does anyone who was near the American Inn Motel that afternoon or who knew Markqwan have information that could help clarify what happened?
