On the evening of December 21, 2019, 34-year-old Antwon Gibson met someone near Farwell and Brady Street in Milwaukee for what was supposed to be a marijuana transaction. The encounter turned violent shortly before 10 p.m.; a witness heard five to seven gunshots and police later found Gibson with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A witness saw another man searching Gibson’s pockets, remove a black firearm and a cellphone, place the phone on Gibson’s chest and say that it was his, then flee in a car.

Detectives traced a call to Gibson’s phone just before the shooting to 23-year-old Timothy Alexander. When interviewed, Alexander said he had arranged a larger purchase than usual, that the agreed price changed, and that he fired because he feared Gibson was reaching for a gun. He admitted he intended to shoot but said he did not intend to kill Gibson. The case records show Alexander was arrested and charged in connection with Gibson’s death.

If anyone saw what happened near Farwell and Brady Street that night or has information about the meeting that led to Gibson’s shooting, please come forward.
