James Arthur Carter, 35, was killed just after 2:40 a.m. on May 28, 2022, at a home near North 42nd Street and West Bonny Place in Milwaukee. Police found him mortally wounded at the scene; his death was recorded that day as one of the city’s homicides. Investigators described the incident as domestic-violence–related.

Two people — a 22-year-old Milwaukee man and a 33-year-old Milwaukee woman — were taken into custody in connection with the shooting and officers recovered two firearms. Police said there was no broader threat to the community and that criminal charges were pending review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office. Subsequent listings place the location at or near 4210 W. Bonny Place.

Carter, known to loved ones and colleagues as JC and a Milwaukee native born in 1986, was remembered in memorials as a devoted father, brother, and friend and as a community outreach worker who engaged neighbors and advocated on justice issues. Does anyone with knowledge of JC or the neighborhood around Bonny Place have information that could help clarify what happened?
