Malaysha B. Smith, 20, was killed in a mass shooting at a Citgo near North 27th Street and West Capitol Drive in Milwaukee on April 7, 2021, at about 12:30 a.m. The shooting was part of a quadruple shooting that also killed 30-year-old Jeffrey Vaughn and injured a 27-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man.

According to surveillance and witness accounts, an argument inside the station between Jeffrey Vaughn and 26-year-old Michael White escalated into a physical struggle over a firearm. White reportedly wrestled the gun away; two other suspects then approached, one pointing a gun at Vaughn. White and another suspect opened fire on Vaughn, killing him. As White tried to flee, he fired into a parked vehicle where Malaysha Smith and friends were waiting, killing Smith and wounding another woman.

Michael White was arrested and charged with multiple offenses including first-degree reckless homicide, and he was hospitalized with a gunshot wound while in custody. A second arrest was also made, though that person’s role was not immediately clear. If anyone knew Malaysha Smith or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the investigation.
