Jeffrey Beamon, 49, of Milwaukee was shot and killed on June 30, 2019 during an argument over an eviction at a multifamily home on the city’s north side. The confrontation took place at a residence in the 3200 block of N. 28th St. and included several people; a woman at the scene summoned 18-year-old Cedric Turnbull Jr. When Turnbull arrived, Beamon, a co-owner and landlord, approached him and was shot in the neck and chest. Beamon died at the scene and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Turnbull was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent. He had a prior robbery conviction in 2017 and was held in the Milwaukee County Jail with bail set at $150,000; prosecutors say he faces up to 70 years if convicted. Beamon’s family described him as hardworking and kind and say they continue to seek justice.

If anyone witnessed the argument or has information about what led to the shooting, please share tips with investigators.
