Joseph McLaurin, 49, was fatally shot inside his Milwaukee apartment near 40th and Florist on the evening of Sunday, August 28, 2022. He had been looking after three of his young grandchildren when the shooting occurred. McLaurin was a father of eight and was remembered by family as a man who cherished his family and loved to cook.

The Milwaukee Police Department investigated the homicide and shortly after the incident took one person into custody, though authorities did not immediately release the suspect’s identity or the specific charges. Family members held a vigil and publicly pleaded for answers as they grieved. Further details about the suspect or the case resolution were not widely publicized.

If anyone knew Joseph or has information about the shooting on August 28, 2022, what can be shared with investigators?
