A 15-year-old named Emanuel Johnson was shot and killed in Milwaukee on the evening of December 12, 2024, near North 60th Street and West Carmen Avenue. Emanuel, a Black male and student at Riverside High School, was dropping off his girlfriend from her job around 8:54 p.m. when a gunshot rang out. A 16-year-old was also wounded in the same incident; that second victim survived and was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Emanuel was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Family remembered Emanuel as a twin who loved trucks, bikes, and basketball. The Milwaukee Police Department opened an investigation and were searching for an unknown suspect or suspects. A neighbor’s surveillance video captured one gunshot and showed an unidentified person getting into an SUV that then drove away. No arrests had been announced in the days after the shooting.

If anyone saw activity near North 60th and West Carmen on the night of December 12, or has information about the SUV seen leaving the scene, please come forward.
