Devon D. Sandifer, 23, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of May 19, 2019, at a residence near 23rd and Highland in Milwaukee. He was at home with his cousin, Dangelo Baker, and other friends when an argument erupted. Witnesses said Baker, who was intoxicated, began waving a gun and Sandifer escorted him outside in an effort to defuse the situation.

According to reports, the confrontation continued outside where Baker reportedly kept brandishing the firearm and made threatening remarks. Moments later gunshots were heard; Sandifer suffered a gunshot wound to his torso, was taken to Froedtert Hospital, and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Baker was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide following the shooting.

Sandifer’s family and friends held memorial services to mourn his loss. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Devon and can help fill in what happened?
