On January 23, 2024, Anton Lemarr Space, a 46-year-old Black man from Kenosha, was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Shoppes at Prairie Ridge in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. The shooting occurred just after 4 p.m. near the Dollar Tree, in the area west of Target on 77th Street. Space was taken to Froedtert South hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Pleasant Prairie Police Department, assisted by the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department, processed the scene and interviewed witnesses in the busy shopping complex. Investigators publicly identified two suspects a few days later: 29-year-old Marchello D. Jones and 27-year-old Maria D. Jones of Milwaukee, who were reported to have ties to Kenosha. Authorities located and seized a vehicle believed connected to the crime, and both Joneses were being held at the Kenosha County Jail while charges were prepared.

Anton Space was a husband and father of four. If anyone was in the Shoppes at Prairie Ridge that afternoon or has information about the people or vehicle involved, please come forward.
