On the morning of June 29, 2015, Ules C. Burks Jr., 35, was shot and killed while walking to a neighborhood store in Milwaukee. The shooting happened at about 9:45 a.m. near North 44th Street and West Clarke Street, in a residential block directly across from Washington High School. Neighbors saw the aftermath; one resident called 911 and later noticed blood on the pavement, and homicide detectives searched nearby yards, homes, and vehicles for evidence.

Burks was walking with another young man when gunfire erupted. His sister, Carmalethia Craigs, was notified that morning after a neighbor found him in the street. Police initially said the circumstances were unclear, and by December 2015 no suspect or motive had been publicly identified. Craigs and the family offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction and attended a year-end remembrance in which Burks’ name was read among 145 Milwaukee homicide victims.

Who has information about that June morning or remembers seeing anything near North 44th and West Clarke Streets?
