On the night of July 23, 2024, 20-year-old Jesus Huerta-Correa, a Hispanic man known as Chuy, was shot multiple times and died in an alley in the 1400 block of S. 23rd Street in Milwaukee. Police were called for reports of gunfire about 11:00 p.m.; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Authorities determined the shooting occurred during an attempted armed robbery.

Huerta-Correa was the owner of GrailzMKE LLC, where he sold sneakers and clothing. Friends and family described him as a humble, caring young entrepreneur who put others first. The community reacted with grief and anger over the violence and the danger faced by young business owners.

Investigators arrested 17-year-old Julian D. Broden and charged him with first-degree reckless homicide while armed and as a party to a crime, plus two counts of possessing a firearm after prior delinquency. A public defender was assigned and bail was set at $150,000. If anyone knew Jesus, his business, or witnessed the shooting, please come forward with information.
