Walter Harden, a 23-year-old African-American man, was shot and killed in Milwaukee on December 13, 2013, around 3:35 p.m. The shooting occurred on the city’s north side near N. 37th Street and W. Hampton Avenue. Accounts differ about what preceded the killing: police reports say Harden was stopped at a traffic light in his vehicle when a verbal dispute with occupants of another car turned deadly and shots were fired from that other vehicle; family members say he had just walked out of a corner food store at Hopkins and Hampton when someone opened fire on him.

After being shot, Harden’s vehicle continued east and struck several other cars before coming to a stop. Family and friends held a vigil in the days afterward and publicly pleaded for answers. Milwaukee police opened an investigation and sought information from the public; as of the latest available details, the case remains unsolved and no suspects have been publicly identified.

If anyone knew Walter, saw activity near Hopkins and Hampton or N. 37th and W. Hampton on December 13, 2013, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
