On November 15, 2024, 18-year-old Jaylan Powell was found dead on the basketball court at Carver Park in Milwaukee, having suffered four gunshot wounds. He was discovered at about 1:45 a.m., and the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation. Powell was a student at North Division High School; family members described him as loving, protective and quick to smile.

Investigators say the shooting followed a prearranged meeting to trade firearms at the park. According to the criminal complaint, a 15-year-old met Powell there with two friends; all parties were armed. The complaint alleges Powell set his firearm down, the 15-year-old then pointed a pistol at Powell and fired, and the suspect fled with three firearms. On November 19, detectives arrested three teenagers — a 17-year-old and two 15-year-olds — and a 15-year-old was later charged in connection with Powell’s homicide.

Does anyone have information about the meeting at Carver Park or about the people involved that could help investigators?
