On March 29, 2020, in Milwaukee’s Park West neighborhood, 35-year-old Black woman Josephine Taylor was shot and killed while a passenger in her boyfriend’s pickup near North 21st and West Wright streets. The truck had stopped so the occupants could watch a street fight when 26-year-old Latwaun Hale, an acquaintance of the boyfriend, approached and an argument began over a reported $100 debt. As the occupants tried to flee, Taylor was chased down and shot in the street despite pleading for mercy.

Authorities identified Latwaun Hale as the suspect and charged him with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, armed robbery with use of force, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Hale remained at large and was considered armed and dangerous until his capture by U.S. Marshals in March 2021.

Did anyone in Park West that evening see what happened or have information about the confrontation before it turned deadly?
