Erianica Primer, a 27-year-old Black/African American woman, was fatally shot in the early morning of September 10, 2020, while celebrating her birthday at a nightclub near 76th and Good Hope in Milwaukee. An argument inside the club reportedly involved Primer and several other women and continued outside; around 1:30 a.m. she was shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. She left behind two young sons and family members who described her as smart, intelligent, and energetic.

Milwaukee police took a 36-year-old man into custody at the scene; the matter was set for review by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office. The shooting robbed her family of a mother on the day she was celebrating her birth. If anyone was at the club that night or has information about what happened around 1:30 a.m., please share what you know.
