Kenyatta L. Cox was 23 and an aspiring rapper when he was fatally shot in a parked car near 35th and Hampton in Milwaukee around 12:30 a.m. on January 2, 2021. A 22-year-old woman in the same vehicle was also shot and pronounced dead at the scene; these were the city’s first two homicides of 2021.

Family members held a memorial and have spoken publicly about their grief. Cousins Nayla Delarosa and Taranda Westmoreland described the loss as devastating and senseless. Cox’s parents have offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Kenyatta or was near 35th and Hampton around midnight on January 2, 2021, please share what you know with investigators.
