Dominic Taylor, listed in records as Domonic T. Taylor, was 21 when he was shot on the evening of June 27, 2015, in the 4200 block of North 63rd Street near West Marion Street on Milwaukee’s northwest side. The shooting occurred about 7:00 p.m.; he was taken to hospital with wounds and died of those injuries the next day, June 28, 2015. His death left a young daughter without a father and prompted a vigil at 63rd and Marion where friends and family gathered to mourn.

Taylor’s killing came during a sharp rise in Milwaukee homicides that year; by June 29 the city had recorded roughly 74 homicides, more than double the count at the same point in 2014. Officials noted factors such as drug activity, interpersonal disputes, and illegal firearms as contributors, but reporting did not establish a specific motive for Taylor’s shooting. If anyone knew Dominic Taylor or has information about the June 27, 2015 shooting, please share what can help the case.
