Jacob Smith was 24 when he was shot and killed near 29th and Burleigh in Milwaukee on Saturday, April 6, 2019. He had moved from Chicago and had been in Milwaukee only three days before the shooting; family described him as a young father trying to start a better life.

Witnesses said a drunken dispute escalated into a physical fight, then gunfire. Jacob’s uncle was present and saw him fall. Police identified a suspect, Stacy Blunt, who was arrested and charged in connection with the killing; prosecutors allege Blunt pointed a gun at Smith and fired a single shot after the altercation, and Blunt reportedly told investigators he felt he was being rushed and was trying to fire a warning shot. The family held a vigil at the shooting site and urged people to resolve disputes without violence.

If anyone witnessed the incident or knew Jacob in Milwaukee or Chicago, can you share information that might help clarify what happened?
