Dechale Hampton was 15 and a student at Riverside High School when he was killed in the early morning hours of June 28, 2022, in Milwaukee. He was found unconscious near 95th and Allyn about 3:45 a.m. with gunshot wounds; an autopsy determined he was shot three times. Dechale enjoyed basketball and rapping.

Events before the shooting began with a nearby attempted car break-in. The vehicle owner and others went looking and encountered Dechale and two others; the group scattered. A witness saw Dechale punched until he fell, then several people fled in two vehicles. Dechale was chased and then shot.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Taeshaun Chapman and charged him with first-degree reckless homicide and misdemeanor bail jumping. The complaint says Chapman admitted chasing Dechale and firing three shots, later claiming a slip caused an accidental discharge; his cash bond was set at $200,000 at the July 5, 2022 appearance. Did anyone who knew Dechale or who was in that neighborhood that night see what happened?
