On the afternoon of August 27, 2021, 19-year-old Omar Slaten was found fatally shot inside a parked car near North 40th Street and West Silver Spring Drive in Milwaukee. The vehicle was outside his sister’s home on the city’s north side. His mother had texted him that afternoon and, when he did not reply, was later told by another child that he had been shot.

Slaten had recently graduated high school and was expecting a child. His family says he was not involved in street life and believes he was the victim of a random act of violence. The shooting came during a period of rising homicides in Milwaukee. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified, leaving the case unsolved.
