Michael R. Gibson-Smith, a 32-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Milwaukee on March 21, 2023. Police responding to reports of a shooting near 26th and Hope found Gibson-Smith with multiple gunshot wounds; a witness said he ran from a backyard and across the street before collapsing. A second man was also found with gunshot wounds — to the right cheek and left abdomen — and a graze wound on his shoulder.

Investigators recovered numerous .32 caliber cartridge casings scattered near the scene, some in an alley and others in front of a house on North 27th Street. A search of a nearby apartment turned up mail addressed to 37-year-old Jonathan Winn. Ballistics linked a .32 casing recovered on January 6 from that apartment to the casings found at the March 21 scene. Jonathan Winn was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree reckless injury, and possession of a firearm by a felon.

Does anyone have information about Michael’s movements that day or about activity near 26th and Hope that could help clarify what happened?
