In the early morning hours of July 25, 2023, 22-year-old Naquon Henry, a Black/African American man, was shot and killed in Milwaukee’s Washington Park. Police were called to the park around 3:15 a.m. after reports of gunfire and found Henry near the playground area suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators tied 20-year-old Triston Brown to the shooting. Brown allegedly lured Henry to the park under false pretenses, an altercation happened, and Henry was shot multiple times. A witness described the shooter and gave the direction of flight; officers later spotted a person matching that description who attempted to flee while carrying a firearm. Police recovered a bag with a phone, ammunition, and items identifying Triston Brown, and he was arrested the same day.

What does anyone who knew Naquon or who was in Washington Park that night remember about the events leading up to the shooting?
