Sebastian Florentino, 14, was shot during a gathering of teenagers in a garage near 52nd and Clarke Streets in Milwaukee on the evening of January 21, 2023. The gathering involved youths making videos while handling firearms. A 14-year-old acquaintance reportedly pointed a gun, fired a shot that struck Sebastian, said sorry bro, then fired again at Sebastian and turned the weapon on another witness. Sebastian and his 13-year-old brother were both wounded and taken to a hospital; Sebastian died of multiple gunshot wounds the next morning on January 22, 2023, while his younger brother survived.

Milwaukee police identified and arrested a 14-year-old male suspect. The suspect told investigators he had been playing around with the gun and that it accidentally discharged one time. He was charged with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree reckless injury, and possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent. The community mourned Sebastian, whose family had suffered another recent loss when his older brother died in a car crash just over a year earlier.

Did anyone in the area see the group that night or have information about the weapon used?
