Teresa R. Thomas, 41, was one of five people killed inside a Milwaukee home on April 27, 2020. Also found dead were Demetrius R. Thomas, 14; Tera R. Agee, 16; Lakeitha M. Stokes, 17; and Marcus G. Stokes, 19. A 43-year-old man, Christopher Stokes, called police to report that his family was dead; officers found him at the scene and arrested him in connection with the deaths.

Investigators reported that Stokes had a history of domestic violence and that his relationship with Teresa Thomas had been tumultuous. Authorities say he admitted to killing the five victims, telling them he had massacred his entire family, and that a shotgun was used. Stokes later pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree reckless homicide and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon; in July 2021 a Milwaukee County judge sentenced him to 205 years in prison.

If anyone knew Teresa Thomas or the other victims and can share memories or information that could help understand what led to this tragedy, please speak up.
