David D. Hughes, 29, was shot and killed at Johnsons Park on Milwaukee’s northwest side on May 31, 2021 — one of four homicides at that location that day. According to his mother, Hughes had been playing with several children beforehand. He was a father of two boys, ages 8 and 6, helped run a family lawn care business, and rented inflatable bounce houses for neighborhood events.

Investigators say Hughes was shot multiple times; an autopsy recorded eight gunshot wounds to the head, neck, shoulder, hip, and wrist. Authorities allege a man removed his mask, shot Hughes in the back of the head, rifled through his pockets, stole a fanny pack, and fled. A suspect was arrested more than a week later and charged with first-degree homicide and related offenses.

If anyone knew Hughes, was at Johnsons Park that afternoon, or has information about what happened, please share what you know.
