On the evening of July 24, 2022, 20-year-old Alexis Martinez-Castorena was shot while talking with his brother and cousin outside his mother’s home in the 1500 block of S. 22nd Street in Milwaukee. About 10:30 p.m., two men and a woman walking by began an altercation with the family. The dispute escalated and the two men opened fire, wounding Alexis and his 26-year-old brother. Both were taken to a local hospital; Alexis died in the early hours of July 25 and his brother was treated for injuries and expected to survive.

Alexis, born September 7, 2001, was a father who enjoyed soccer and spending time with friends and family. The Milwaukee Police Department is treating the case as a homicide; the three people who approached the group fled and remain unidentified. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the group that walked by or hear anything that night?
