Shawnte Hudson, 38, was found shot to death inside a Racine residence in the early morning hours of June 2, 2023. Known as 20, he was a father of five, born March 10, 1985, and remembered by family for his smile, kindness and interests in art, cars and music, including writing and rapping.

Police responded about 1:12 a.m. to the 1600 block of West Sixth Street and determined Hudson died of a gunshot wound to the head. According to the criminal complaint, the shooting followed a domestic dispute; Hudson had been in a five-year relationship with a woman who was arguing with him that day. The woman’s mother and her mother’s partner, Tracy Scott, arrived at the home. The woman said Scott entered the living room, a loud noise was heard, and she then found Hudson on the floor while Scott held a handgun. The complaint says Scott and his partner then fled.

Police identified and arrested Tracy Scott; he was apprehended in New Castle, Pennsylvania, on June 27, 2023, and returned to Wisconsin. He was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a firearm by a felon. If anyone knew Shawnte or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
