On May 13, 2022, Milwaukee lost two sons on the same street in a single day. Thirty-three-year-old Hershel Money McCradic, a Black/African American man, was shot and killed as he stepped out of the family home on the block near 22nd and Keefe. Hershel’s death came roughly five hours after his younger half-brother, 23-year-old Tyquawn Williams, was killed in a drive-by while sitting in his car around 1:13 p.m.

Both shootings were described as drive-bys and occurred in daylight with family and neighbors present. The pair were described as having an unbreakable bond, and the second slaying happened while family members were gathered grieving the first, leaving the neighborhood deeply shaken. The Milwaukee Police Department opened an investigation, but no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced in connection with either killing.

Anyone who was on or near 22nd and Keefe that day or who has information that could help the investigation is asked to come forward.
