Melchizedek Woods, 24, was found fatally shot in his Milwaukee duplex on 48th and Meinecke on April 16, 2021. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators reported signs of forced entry at the residence, suggesting he may have been targeted.

The shooting came after a violent episode two days earlier in which Woods’ twin brother was shot in the leg during an altercation at Harriet Tubman Park (Wahl Park); that fight reportedly began between the brothers’ girlfriends and escalated to gunfire. Melchizedek was not heard from for two days before his family discovered him.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported, and the case has gone cold despite a reward from Milwaukee Crime Stoppers and ongoing family appeals for justice. If anyone knew Melchizedek or has information about his movements or contacts in April 2021, please share what you know with investigators.
