On the night of December 6, 2021, 28-year-old security guard Jose Stanton was shot multiple times at about 11:20 p.m. while working a shift at the Days Inn & Suites near 6th and Vine in Milwaukee and died at the scene. Friends and family say Stanton had told a man and a woman involved in a dispute to leave; the man reportedly returned and shot him. The Milwaukee Police Department identified 36-year-old Arrick Adams as the primary suspect and linked him to the case using the cellphone of Adams’ girlfriend.

Authorities located Adams in Henry County, Georgia, on December 10, 2021. He fled in a vehicle, led deputies on a high-speed chase on Interstate 75, was boxed in and surrendered; a weapon was recovered from the vehicle. Adams faced charges in Georgia for fleeing with attempt to elude, aggravated assault, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and in Wisconsin for first-degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Stanton’s family is still seeking answers about what led to the confrontation that night.

If anyone witnessed the incident at the hotel or has information about what happened before the shooting, please come forward.
