Jackie Beason, a 60-year-old woman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was shot and killed on May 25, 2024, the day she was celebrating her birthday. The shooting occurred about 12:45 p.m. near Cass and Kilbourn Streets. Beason was found in her vehicle with a single gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her husband, Timothy Lewis, was arrested the same day and charged with first-degree reckless homicide. A criminal complaint says witnesses heard an argument before the shooting; one witness reported Beason telling Lewis to put the gun away and saying it was fake, then a single gunshot was heard. Lewis told police he had a concealed carry permit, pulled out his gun during the argument, said he "just lost it," and shot Beason while she sat in the driver’s seat, then drove away in a white Mercedes-Benz before being apprehended.

The killing is classified as domestic violence-related, and community members have voiced shock that it happened on Beason’s birthday. Does anyone have information about Beason, the scene near Cass and Kilbourn, or the events that afternoon?
