Christopher Gillum, 24, was fatally shot while walking home with friends near North 7th and West Vliet streets in Milwaukee on March 18, 2012, at about 1:32 a.m. Milwaukee police identified Gillum as the victim and opened an investigation, but in the days after the shooting no suspects or arrests were publicly named.

Family statements later described lasting trauma from Christopher’s death. In 2018, during separate legal proceedings involving his brother John F. Gillum, the family reported John’s mental health had declined after Christopher’s 2012 murder.

If anyone knew Christopher, was with him that night, or has information about the shooting near North 7th and West Vliet on March 18, 2012, please come forward.
