On June 24, 2022, Giovanni E. Hernandez, a 28-year-old Hispanic man, and another man, Melvin A. López, were found fatally shot in an alley on the 3700 block of West Roberts Street in Milwaukee. Both were pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to their heads, and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the deaths a double homicide.

Investigators linked the murders to an intentionally set vehicle fire a short distance away. Hernandez’s Toyota minivan was found fully engulfed near 39th and North; arson investigators concluded the blaze was started from inside the vehicle. Surveillance footage showed Hernandez’s minivan being followed by a white Acura into the dead-end street that led to the alley, and the same two vehicles were seen near the location of the arson shortly after the shooting.

Cellphone records showed Hernandez had 17 calls and texts to a single number in the hours before his death. That number was identified by a Wisconsin Department of Corrections agent as belonging to 32-year-old Randy Moore; location data placed Moore’s phone at the scene of the homicide and then moving toward the vehicle fire before the records ceased.

Did anyone in Milwaukee recognize Hernandez’s minivan or see the white Acura near West Roberts Street on the morning of June 24, 2022?
