On March 23, 2020, the body of 36-year-old Jose Santiago, a Hispanic man originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico, was found inside his vehicle parked near St. Adalbert Cemetery in Milwaukee. A jogger who had noticed the car in the same spot for two days looked inside, found Santiago unresponsive in the driver’s seat, and alerted police. He had been fatally shot twice in the back of the head in what investigators described as an execution-style killing. Santiago was a motorcycle enthusiast and a member of the MIXFITS Motorcycle Club; he is survived by his wife and a son.

Investigators developed a case centered on Santiago’s wife, Cassandra Hult. Evidence recovered from the vehicle included a spent bullet casing, a McDonald’s receipt time-stamped 12:29 p.m., and two McDonald’s cups. Forensic tests matched DNA on the cups to both Santiago and Hult.

An arrest warrant was issued and in May 2024 Hult was taken into custody and charged with first-degree reckless homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon; she pleaded not guilty and is being held on $500,000 bond awaiting further court action. Is there anyone who knew Jose or saw his car near St. Adalbert Cemetery on March 22–23, 2020 who can share information?
