Victoria Smith, 34, was among five people struck when gunfire erupted at a house party near 28th Street and Ruby Avenue in Milwaukee in the early hours of June 21, 2020. Neighbors described numerous shots; witnesses said it sounded like World War III. Smith, a Black woman from Milwaukee, was hit during the shooting.

A 29-year-old man, Leerance Riley, attempted to drive Smith to the hospital in a private vehicle but lost control and crashed into a tree near Sherman Boulevard and Nash Street. Both Smith and Riley were pronounced dead at the scene; it is not clear whether Smith died from her gunshot wounds or from injuries sustained in the crash. Three other shooting victims—two men, aged 29 and 33, and two women, aged 22 and 33—survived, with one man in critical condition.

The Milwaukee Police Department opened an investigation and was seeking unknown suspects. No public announcements of arrests or named suspects have been reported. Does anyone have information about who might have been responsible for the shooting or witnessed what happened that night?
