In the early evening of February 19, 2023, 13-year-old Jamarri Paige was killed in his family’s home near 47th and Fiebrantz in Milwaukee. While his mother was preparing dinner and calling him to get his plate, numerous rounds were fired into the house; one bullet struck Jamarri and he died at the scene. Neighbors reported hearing many gunshots. Police found nine bullet strikes to the house and recovered 22 casings from two different firearms.

Authorities say the shooting grew out of an ongoing dispute between Jamarri’s family and another family that reportedly involved threats tied to a past relationship. On the same night a related shooting occurred at a relative’s home near 27th and Garfield, where police recovered 30 casings. Jamarri’s mother ran outside after the shooting and identified a man, named in reports as Lazarus McAdoo, who was seen near a car at the intersection and made a remark before leaving.

An arrest has been announced in connection with the investigation. Does anyone in the area have information about the dispute or the events that night?
