Hunter Nachreiner was a 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee junior studying Psychology and interning as a behavior technician. Friends and family remembered him as kind, fond of skateboarding, and close to his girlfriend and family.

On the evening of Monday, May 27, 2024, in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, Nachreiner was in a car near Humboldt and Center when he suffered a fatal gunshot wound shortly before 8:30 p.m. A witness described people pulling him from the vehicle and trying to save him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Some reports say the shooting was accidental: a 21-year-old male passenger reportedly handled a gun that unintentionally discharged and struck Nachreiner.

If anyone in Riverwest that evening saw the vehicle or has information about what happened, please come forward and share what you know.
