On the last day of February 2022, 39-year-old Alexis Fitzgerald McGregor, a Black/African American father of four, was killed during an encounter at a Milwaukee gas station near Green Bay Avenue and Capitol Drive. An argument with another man, identified as 26-year-old Dreshawn Freeman at the time, escalated into a physical confrontation. Surveillance video captured Freeman retrieving a handgun and firing two shots as McGregor walked and then ran away. One bullet struck McGregor in the spine and he collapsed; first responders found him unresponsive and he was pronounced dead.

The security footage shows Freeman approaching the fallen McGregor, appearing to punch him in the head and roll him onto his back; Freeman was later found kneeling beside McGregor and taken into custody at the scene. Court filings did not publicly detail what sparked the initial dispute. Freeman later pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless homicide and received a 12-year prison sentence with eight years of extended supervision; he was credited with 592 days served in custody.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation or has additional information about what led to the argument, please share what is known.
