On a January evening in 2008 on Milwaukee’s north side, 15-year-old Javane Gaines was walking home with his cousin Andre Evans after a game of basketball when both boys were fired upon. The cousins tried to flee; Andre saw Javane lying on the ground after being struck in the head. The wound proved fatal and Javane died that night.

Both boys were 15 at the time. The shooting left Andre deeply affected and devastated Javane’s family and community. No arrests have ever been made, and the identity of the person or people responsible remains unknown.

Does anyone who was on that block that night or who knew Javane or Andre have information that could help bring answers?
