An evening on a Milwaukee porch turned deadly on August 24, 2022, when gunfire erupted and 82-year-old Shirley Mallory was killed. Her husband, 86-year-old Ivory Mallory, had been inside watching television and ran out after hearing the shots. He was shot multiple times in the lower back and buttocks and was hospitalized.

Shirley was pronounced dead at the scene; Ivory and two others who'd been on the porch — Shirley’s 88-year-old sister, Carrie Barnhill, and a 65-year-old friend — were injured. Police identified 57-year-old neighbor Leslie Bost as the shooter. A short time later a fire broke out at Bost’s home. Prosecutors charged Bost with reckless homicide and multiple counts of recklessly endangering safety, and he was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in September 2022.

Ivory Mallory was released from the hospital after a week but died of his injuries at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee on January 27, 2023, ending a 57-year marriage and leaving the family to grieve. Does anyone have information about the Mallorys or that neighborhood on that August evening?
