Earl D. Jiles, 27, of Milwaukee was shot and killed on January 10, 2022. Reports say the fatal shooting followed a confrontation that escalated to gunfire; beyond that, specific details about what led to the encounter are scarce. Law enforcement is investigating and, as of the information available, no arrests or charges have been announced.

Earl’s death adds to a troubling local pattern of gun violence in Milwaukee and is especially painful for his family: his brother Gregory was also killed by gunfire seven years earlier. Friends and relatives have expressed grief and urged anyone with information to contact investigators.

Does anyone in Milwaukee have information about where Earl spent time or who might help advance this investigation?
