Andre C. Davis was 50 and a Milwaukee resident when he died on May 2, 2022. His obituary appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and was reposted on Legacy.com and Echovita.com; those notices did not state a cause of death. Subsequent investigative material and court filings identify his death as a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds on Milwaukee’s north side, and the medical examiner ruled the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds.

Prosecutors allege that a woman named Ashanti Davis arranged the killing, charging her with solicitation of first-degree intentional homicide and saying the plot was presented as a staged robbery. Court documents reportedly include communications between Ashanti Davis and an inmate at a correctional institution that prosecutors say contain coded references to the plan. She was being held on a $100,000 cash bond while criminal proceedings were pending.

Does anyone have additional information about Andre Davis’s life or the events on Milwaukee’s north side that day?
