Tamaris K. Smith, an 18-year-old Black male, was shot and killed inside a Milwaukee store near 40th and Burleigh on June 9, 2022. Surveillance video shows Smith trying on a t-shirt toward the back of the store when another 18-year-old, Quaveion Stanley, entered, approached him, and after a short verbal exchange raised a firearm and shot Smith multiple times. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators recovered four fired 40 caliber cartridge casings and a fired bullet near his body.

Police traced the shooting to Quaveion Stanley, who had prior contacts with law enforcement. On June 21, 2022, officers located Stanley near 19th and Atkinson; he attempted to discard a black Glock 22, 40 caliber semi-automatic handgun under a food truck and was arrested and found to be in possession of marijuana. Stanley was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and two counts of misdemeanor bail jumping and made an initial court appearance on June 26, 2022, with cash bond set at $200,000.

Are there witnesses or anyone who was in that store on June 9 who can add details about what happened in the moments before the shooting?
