In the early hours of July 1, 2020, 20-year-old DaQuan Ellis was shot and killed while sitting in his vehicle near North Holton and West Center Streets in Milwaukee. The shooting happened at about 2:30 a.m.; police say several suspects armed with handguns opened fire and Ellis was struck multiple times.

A witness reported seeing two men, each holding a handgun, run from the scene and told her It wasn’t us as they passed; she believed those men to be the shooters. A bystander tried to resuscitate Ellis before police arrived and EMS transported him to a local hospital, where he later died. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office scheduled an autopsy. Family confirmed his death on social media; he was a father to a daughter and two sons. Police are asking for information about the suspects.
