On the night of August 20, 2022, Pedro Francisco García Sierra, 31, was shot and killed near S. 19th and W. Mitchell Streets on Milwaukee’s south side. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m.; García died at the scene. Police described the incident as a road rage–related homicide.

Family remembered García as a loving husband, a hardworking man and a devoted father to a young daughter who was four at the time. Relatives said he avoided trouble and had no known enemies, and they expressed hope for justice and for his parents to travel from Mexico for his funeral. A 28-year-old male suspect was arrested and the case was sent to the district attorney for review of pending homicide charges; police did not publicly release the suspect’s name then.
