Javon Wilson, a 21-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Milwaukee on November 19, 2023. That Sunday he played basketball that morning and later told his mother he was going out with friends; he was brought to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his stomach and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Authorities have not released where the shooting happened or the events that led to it. The investigation is ongoing; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. His mother, Andrea Wilson, believes Javon was not the intended target and has provided names to detectives, but those leads were reportedly treated as hearsay. The family remains without answers and hopes the community will come forward.

If anyone has information about Javon’s movements that day or who might have been involved, please contact the Milwaukee Police Department.
