Sidney Key was 29 when he was shot on a Milwaukee porch on July 9, 2014. Around 3:30 p.m., Key was sitting near North 38th and Fairmount with another man when gunfire erupted. Both men were struck; the other man’s injuries were not considered life-threatening, while Key was critically wounded and taken to a hospital.

Key survived for eleven days but died of his injuries on July 20, 2014, converting the assault into a homicide investigation. Detectives looked into several possible motives, including a potential drug-related angle, but the inquiry stalled. No arrests had been announced and no suspects publicly identified, leaving the case unsolved as described.

If anyone was in the area that afternoon or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
