Kayla Calderon, an 18-year-old from Milwaukee, was found dead in an apartment near 53rd and Center on March 16, 2023, after police responded to reports of a shooting. Family members said she had suffered a gunshot wound; police initially classified the case as a death investigation. Investigators later focused on her former boyfriend as a person of interest.

Court records show a search warrant was issued for his Facebook and Instagram accounts; the warrant cited threatening messages he sent to Calderon’s mother shortly before the death in which he made aggressive statements about harming Kayla and her family. Six months after the shooting, no charges had been filed and the family was still seeking answers and accountability.

Who has information about Kayla, her last movements, or the threats reported to her family?
