On the late afternoon of August 22, 2019, a dispute near 10th and Burleigh in Milwaukee ended with the fatal shooting of 38-year-old Anthony Moton. Police were called about 5:30 p.m. and found Moton suffering two gunshot wounds to his back; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The confrontation began earlier that day when a man later identified as Novel Foster was confronted by two women who thought he had been looking at them. Moton’s girlfriend was one of those women and called him to the scene. Witnesses say Moton and Foster bumped fists before Foster opened fire, reportedly shooting toward the vehicle Moton was in while fleeing on foot. Investigators recovered 15 spent casings in the roadway.

Three days later, on August 25, police arrested Foster, found 9mm ammunition on him, and later recovered two firearms. He was charged with second-degree reckless homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a felon; he pleaded not guilty.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the confrontation unfold or have information about what led up to the shooting?
