A routine drive on Packard Avenue in Cudahy turned deadly on the evening of February 24, 2024, when a road‑rage confrontation between two drivers ended with a fatal shot. Eric Robert Maddox, 41, of South Milwaukee, exited his vehicle after an altercation while both cars were stopped near Packard and Birchwood avenues. A shot fired from the other driver’s vehicle, described as a black SUV, fatally wounded Maddox; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite lifesaving efforts.

The suspect fled but was later identified. A 32‑year‑old man from Greenfield was taken into custody, and police executed a search warrant on his home and vehicle; authorities said they are not seeking additional suspects. The specific words exchanged before the shooting have not been released.

Does anyone who was in that area that night or who saw either vehicle have information that could help clarify what happened?
