On August 20, 2020, 30-year-old Rena Gurley was killed on Milwaukee’s north side just before 5 a.m. near 27th Street and Auer Street. Surveillance from multiple locations shows a vehicle following and circling the area, then pulling over near Gurley as two men with long dreadlocks exited and walked toward her. One of the men was seen with a firearm tucked into the front pocket of his shorts. A ShotSpotter alert recorded five gunshots; Gurley was found with eleven gunshot wounds from four separate bullets.

Investigators traced the vehicle to a Milwaukee man, noting his fingerprint inside, paperwork with his name and a handgun holster in the car, and a magazine for a .40 caliber handgun at his home. His girlfriend told police he returned home a little over an hour after the shooting. An arrest and charges have been reported in connection with the investigation.
