Terry Wilkins, a 50-year-old Black man and father of seven, was shot while driving in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park neighborhood on Sunday morning, September 29, 2019. At about 9:15 a.m. he was struck by gunfire in the 4500 block of West Center Street; the wound caused him to lose control of his vehicle, which then crashed into a light pole. First responders provided medical attention at the scene, but Wilkins died of his injuries.

Family members had been planning to move to a safer area because of rising violence in the neighborhood. A nearby grocery store surveillance camera recorded Wilkins’ car drifting to the curb and hitting the pole after he was shot. The Milwaukee Police Department opened a homicide investigation and is seeking unknown suspects; as of the most recent reports no arrests or public identifications of suspects have been made and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about who shot Terry Wilkins or saw anything in the 4500 block of West Center Street that morning, please come forward.
