Dontrell Bush was a 17-year-old junior and a standout basketball player at William Horlick High School when he was fatally shot shortly before midnight on May 7, 2021. The shooting happened at a gathering on Clairmont Street in Racine. Witnesses said Dontrell was unarmed when he was shot by 18-year-old Joshua Daniel, who had been at the same gathering and told others he felt threatened and believed people were setting him up. Daniel said he thought Dontrell was reaching for a gun and opened fire.

Joshua Daniel was arrested and charged with first-degree intentional homicide, nine counts of recklessly endangering safety, and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. The case deeply affected Dontrell’s family and the William Horlick community; counselors were made available at the school and his mother, Tamyra Morgan, has been active in efforts to help other children and prevent similar tragedies.

Did anyone in the Racine area see Dontrell or the gathering on Clairmont Street that night, or have information about who was present?
