Joseph Milligan was a 26-year-old self-employed man from Minneapolis described as a devoted son, grandson, fiancé, and father. On the evening of May 28, 2024, he sat in the driver’s seat of a car in the 400 block of 23rd Avenue North with his fiancée beside him and her children, ages one and four, in the back seat when an argument over a vehicle escalated into gunfire.

The vehicle then crashed. A bystander took the children to a nearby home; the one-year-old had blood spatter on her face and body. Paramedics transported Milligan to North Memorial Health Hospital, where he died on May 29, 2024. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wound to the head.

Police identified the cousin, later named as Kinglewes Edward McCaleb VI, as the primary suspect. The shooter fled the scene on foot after the crash. Did anyone in the area witness the confrontation or have information about what happened that night?
