Rashad Buggs‑Barnett, 23, of Milwaukee was shot and killed on April 11, 2020 during a drug sale that turned violent on the 500 block of West Wright Street. According to the complaint, Buggs‑Barnett met with 17‑year‑old Kemonta Mills and another juvenile to sell marijuana. Mills and the other juvenile tried to rob him at gunpoint; Buggs‑Barnett drew a firearm and a struggle followed in which Mills gained control of Buggs‑Barnett’s weapon. As Buggs‑Barnett attempted to leave in his vehicle, Mills fired multiple shots at the car. One bullet struck Buggs‑Barnett, causing him to lose control and crash into a building; he died from the shooting.

Mills was charged as an adult with first‑degree reckless homicide and taken into custody, with bail set at $200,000. The case centers on a failed robbery during an illegal transaction and the fatal exchange of gunfire. Does anyone have information about that block of West Wright Street or witnesses to the April 11, 2020 incident?
