On the afternoon of Monday, April 15, 2024, 32-year-old Tamario Williams Sr., a Black man from Milwaukee, was shot and killed after a verbal dispute at Changing Lanes Tire Shop near 57th and Center Streets. The shooting happened about 5:30 p.m.; people at the scene tried to save him but he was pronounced dead. Police say the confrontation led to the fatal encounter.

A 35-year-old man was taken into custody as a suspect, and the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case for possible charges. Williams is remembered by his family as a kindhearted, devoted father to an 11-year-old son; his mother said he always prioritized others. The family set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs.
