Yosef J. Timms, 32, was shot and killed outside his Milwaukee barbershop, Fade Lounge near Holton and Center, on the afternoon of July 1, 2021. According to witnesses, a physical altercation involving Timms and two other men escalated into gunfire in broad daylight; Timms was struck in the head and chest and pronounced dead at the scene. He was known in the neighborhood as Jay Da Barber and is survived by family including a pregnant fiancée.

Investigators said witnesses identified two men called Don and Fatty struggling with Timms, then heard shots as both raised their arms. Police located a silver or gray Acura with twin black racing stripes that matched the getaway description; the car was registered to Dawonyae Robinson and a palm print belonging to Don Corleone Robinson was recovered from the vehicle. Both Robinsons were charged with first-degree intentional homicide but those charges were dismissed in April 2023 after a key prosecution witness could not be located.

The killing remains unresolved and the family had offered a reward for information that would lead to an arrest. Does anyone have information about the July 1, 2021 shooting or about the vehicle and people seen leaving the scene?
