Shantelle T. Mabry, a 35-year-old Black/African American nursing student in Milwaukee, was fatally shot on the night of Friday, August 18, 2023, near 23rd and Michigan Streets. She had become a registered medical assistant the day before the shooting and was months away from graduating; family describe her as an adventurous, big-hearted only child who wanted to help people.

After being shot, Shantelle reached a local hospital but died of her injuries; the person who dropped her off did not stay. Her mother believes the shooting followed her daughter rejecting a man’s advances. The family has held vigils and offered a $1,500 reward for information leading to an arrest, while the Milwaukee Police Department says no arrests have been made and investigators are seeking a known person of interest but lack enough information to obtain a warrant or press charges. Cooperation from witnesses has been limited.

If anyone knew Shantelle or has information about who left her at the hospital or what happened that night, please come forward to help the family find justice.
