Shyir McCoy, a 16-year-old Black male, was fatally shot Sunday, June 2, 2024, just before 6:30 p.m. near 38th and Meinecke on Milwaukee’s north side. He had reportedly been playing basketball with friends that evening. Instead of being taken directly to a hospital, Shyir was dropped off outside a relative’s home; his aunt found him gravely wounded and then transported him to Ascension St. Joseph Hospital, where he later died.

The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Motive remains unknown. Shyir’s family has publicly asked anyone who was with him or who has information about the shooting to come forward as they seek answers and justice.

If anyone was near 38th and Meinecke around 6:30 p.m. on June 2 or knows who was with Shyir that night, please share what you know with investigators.
