A bachelor party in Milwaukee turned deadly on the evening of July 7, 2024, when a dispute near North 50th Street and West Vienna Avenue escalated to gunfire. Forty-five-year-old Ulyesses Jarome Turner Jr. was serving as the best man and was struck by two gunshot wounds; he died at the scene. Another man, identified as the brother of the alleged shooter, was wounded but survived.

Police identified 25-year-old Andre Cross, who uses a wheelchair, as the suspect after he briefly left the scene. Officers recovered a Glock 43 9mm from Cross at the time of his arrest, and ballistic testing linked shell casings from the scene to that handgun. The criminal complaint says witnesses reported Cross fired multiple shots after a confrontation, and that Cross was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree reckless injury. His cash bond was set at $300,000 at the initial court appearance.
