Mary Boulton, a 62-year-old Milwaukee resident, was killed in a shooting on January 24, 2020, in the Hampton Heights neighborhood on the city’s northwest side. She was a passenger in a van driven by her boyfriend that stopped to pick up his ex-girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend’s sister. As the van reached North 65th Street and West Stark Street, a man later identified as Orlando A. Cain opened fire, striking Boulton in the back of the head and killing her instantly; two other people in the van were injured.

Cain, 40, was charged with first-degree reckless homicide, two counts of first-degree reckless injury, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Investigators say Cain had been stalking the ex-girlfriend despite a restraining order, had threatened her and her new boyfriend for months, and had been monitoring her movements. Security camera footage reportedly shows him arriving in the area about an hour before the shooting and walking around; when the van passed he stepped into the street, fired multiple shots, and fled. A warrant was issued when he was not immediately taken into custody.

Mary Boulton’s death was described as the culmination of months of harassment that put bystanders at risk. Does anyone have information about the movements of a van near North 65th and West Stark on January 24, 2020, or about observed suspicious activity in Hampton Heights that night?
