Starcey L. Chat, 36, was found dead in a car on the 2600 block of North 24th Place in Milwaukee on April 23, 2021. He had been shot during a day that saw multiple homicides in the city.

Authorities say Chat was in a car with 19-year-old relative Mharquelle Q. Dixon. Dixon later told police he believed family members were plotting against him and that, when Chat reached for something under his seat, Dixon pulled out a gun and shot him. Dixon then left the scene; a passerby discovered Chat’s body and alerted police that evening.

Dixon was also connected to another shooting nearby the same day that killed Keandre Scott, 20, and injured a 21-year-old woman, and was charged in relation to the incidents. The killings renewed concerns about gun violence in Milwaukee.
