On October 9, 2023, 36-year-old William Eskridge was shot and killed inside a residence in the 3800 block of N. 7th Street in Milwaukee during a family dispute. According to reports, the confrontation began between William and another son. William’s 19-year-old son, Djuan Eskridge, arrived with his brother and two others; witnesses say Djuan produced a firearm and shot his father while William was unarmed.

After William fell, Djuan reportedly approached and continued firing, with multiple shell casings recovered at the scene. First responders found William deceased; an autopsy attributed his death to numerous gunshot wounds to the head, chest, abdomen, and extremities, and the death was ruled a homicide. Djuan fled on foot after the shooting, and the family appealed to the public for information and for him to turn himself in.
